We’ve been learning all about Spain so thought it’d be great to see how paella is made and taste it. We had a great time practising our Spanish whilst we ate this lovely traditional Spanish dish!

Emily from the Discovery Centre came to visit us to help us understand more about the Stone Age. She was very impressed with the knowledge our class had on the different periods and what we knew about Sara Brae!

Using colours found in the Stone Age and our fingers and twigs, we created our own cave painting which told stories of hunts and prayers to spirits.

3LT experienced making and tasting Stone Age bread!  They made it following a very simple recipe of stoneground wholemeal flour and water.  Some children loved the flavour whilst others thought the lack of salt and yeast made it too hard and plain.  Try it at home and see what you think of our ancestor’s food.

We have been looking at what archaeologists do and how they evidence information they find.  We have sifted through oats, used metal detectors and recorded evidence, just like an archaeologist would. 

3LT are keeping up with the times by learning how to use Kodu. It’s an exciting programme that enables us to teach children a fun way of creating their own algorithms, tinkering and configuring!
