As you will have heard, the talk of the town (or village) this week was the Tayvallich Tattie event on Wednesday.
The children in the P5 to 7 class did themselves proud as they served exquisite potato-based delights to pupils from the ELC and P1 to 3 class in their pop-up restaurant. The whole event was an incredibly rich learning opportunity, allowing the pupils to develop their learning, knowledge and skills in a number of key curriculum areas including:
- technologies (food preparation)
- literacy and expressive arts (creating menus, talking and listening using appropriate vocabulary and registers while in role and even line dancing)
- numeracy (exploring supply, cost and budgeting)
- skills for learning, life and work (understanding different workplaces and jobs)
The food was delicious, the service was excellent and the local food and drink venues can be sure of having a very skilled and enthusiastic workforce in a few years’ time.
Many thanks to Miss Forgrieve and other staff for making this possible.
