| Our hottest item is that we have won the
Scottish entry for the
Active Kids Get Cooking competition
which is run by Sainsbury's and judged by British Nutrition
Foundation.
The P4 class were involved in the cooking
etc but two P4 children and Angela Robertson, their teacher,
travelled to London on Wednesday 25 June 2008 to collect
their prize and certificate which was presented to them by
Jamie Oliver.
Our recipes were then being cooked by
chefs on the premises which is Holburn House, as are
the winning recipes from Northern Ireland, Wales and
England and an overall winner was announced on the
day. It is a great
achievement and even though so many enterprising events
at the school are of great interest, this one is great.
The children had to compile a two course
meal from local produce. Our children chose Isle of
Skye Salmon on a bed of curry infused leeks served with
carrot batons and bubble and squeak patties.
Pudding was sponge with vanilla
custard and drizzled with summer berries compote. It
was delicious.
Mrs. Maureen Farquhar from Sainsbury's
came into the school to help the children in response to
letters they had written inviting innovative ideas
towards their healthy eating projects.
Teacher Angela Robertson said "I am
very proud of the children and it is a great
achievement."
