Have you noticed P4B's posters advertising their very own loaves and muffins at Scotmid stores? P4B's own recipe specially made Breadwinner Bakery loaves and muffins will be on sale on Friday 17th June and Saturday 18th June at your local Scotmid stores in Warrender Park Road, Marchmont Road & Leven Street. Expect very long bread queues! All proceeds generously go back to school. Thank you!
P4B had a wonderful, extraordinary experience with two workshops from The Breadwinner Bakery. Sean and Lesley helped our pupils create their own loaves and muffins, worthy of a One Planet Picnic this weekend on Saturday's International Day for Picnics!
This is what they say about their company:
At The Breadwinner we’re passionate about baking. Since 1973 our master craftsmen bakers have been baking in Edinburgh – kneading and shaping dough by hand. We prefer to use traditional, simple methods and allow time to naturally enhance our products, rather than adding anything that would change the quality or flavour of our breads. We’re proud of our heritage – and work hard to supply breads, cakes and pastries that are locally made, freshly baked and full of flavour.

What a great conclusion to our bread experience! P4B went along to the Scotmid at Warrender Park Road where the Breadwinners Bakery and Scotmid had put on a great display of the bread and muffins we designed! There were posters and they had even made a loaf with the Sciennes school logo on it!
Then it was time to buy! We had the opportunity to buy the loaf and muffins ourselves in the shop but don't worry, we left a few!! Scotmid and the Breadwinners Bakery have very kindly said that the proceeds today and tomorrow will be given to the school! So good excuse for treating yourself to a great loaf and muffins!
What a truly great experience for P4B! Who again did themselves proud!

When Toby McIntosh came second in City of Edinburgh's 20mph mascot competition, he won a smoothie bike session for his P7 class. Niall brought the bike, juice and fruit to school and they had great fun making delicious smoothies.
The class chose Sophie E's carton design as their favourite and she won a buff. Well done Sophie!

Thank you.

P4B had yet another lovely experience today with a workshop from The Breadwinner Bakery. Sean and Lesley themselves came to tell us about themselves and to lead us in a workshop, worthy of a One Planet Picnic!
This is what they say about their company:
At The Breadwinner we’re passionate about baking. Since 1973 our master craftsmen bakers have been baking in Edinburgh – kneading and shaping dough by hand. We prefer to use traditional, simple methods and allow time to naturally enhance our products, rather than adding anything that would change the quality or flavour of our breads. We’re proud of our heritage – and work hard to supply breads, cakes and pastries that are locally made, freshly baked and full of flavour.
We saw a demonstration by the master himself, Sean, of how to make bread. We had the opportunity to play with some dough, feel it, smell it and shape it. Then in our bakery groups we designed a bread, deciding on the ingredients we would like to add to our bread. P4B worked hard together as it is a competition to make the best bread. The Breadwinners Bakery supply Scotmid. P4B are going to have their loaves made by the bakery and then it will be judged before being made and put into the 3 local Scotmid stores. All the proceeds are going to be returned to school. So a real win, win situation for us.
Not only did we devise a loaf we also got to come up with the ingredients for a healthy muffin, as this is something else that Scotmid hope to sell. We learnt about muffins and again had a demonstration from Sean before planning our muffin in our groups.
Sean and Lesley are going to come in again in a couple of weeks to help P4B make their muffins. Then a panel of judges are going to taste test the loaves and muffins and decide on the winers. What exciting times.
P4B's classroom looked a little different to normal today. And the smell was tantalising!
22nd APRIL 2016
On Friday 22nd April, we celebrated Earth Day by watching the Climate Coalition's film (scripted by Michael Morpurgo and starring Jeremy Irons) and Greenpeace's "Give the Earth a Hand" video.
We also commemorated the 400th Anniversary of the death of William Shakespeare (23rd April 1616) and asked pupils to play their part in making a difference.
A feeder ride will meet tomorrow at Sciennes at 11.00am to join the main Pedal on Parliament ride at 12.00pm on the Meadows, Saturday 23rd April, and pupils were encouraged to continue to walk, scoot and cycle to school, to play their part in tackling climate change.
P7 pupil, Toby Ward, showed how he had made a difference by donating his time volunteering at a local Food Bank as part of his Silver JASS award.
House Captains congratulated fellow pupils on recent achievements and reminded everyone about our annual Swimathon, taking place next week.
We informed pupils at both Assemblies this morning that the cones will be removed today, so our playground will be open fully on Monday 25th April.

Some of our Eco Team members were at the ready today with our brand new litter pickers and found... they didn't need to use them! Great impact from Arleen's ChangeWorks Litter Assembly on Friday with her message which challenged us all to reduce litter and waste and aim for a Grade 'A' playground! Let's keep it that way!

On Friday 4th March at Assembly, Arleen Sinclair from ChangeWorks
successfully challenged P4-7 pupils to
think about how we can reduce waste by recycling and re-using and how to
make sure our playground and school are Grade A Litter Free. Our ECO
team will meet next week (Waste Week) to discus and decide how to take
forward improvements.

Dear Parents/Carers and Pupils,
The Eco Team is organising a competition to
collect pine or fir cones for our wonderful playground. During the
October holidays we would like you to collect as many cones as possible
and bring them into school by 23rd October when your class
Rep will collect them in. The House Team that collects the most will win
house points and an extra playtime. There will also be 6 individual
winners (3 from P1-3 and 3 from P4-7). Cones brought in after the 23rd October will still be used but won’t count in the competition.
3rd OCTOBER 2015
Please bring your cones in bag labelled with your name, class and House.
If you have any questions please speak to your Eco Rep.
Many thanks,
The Eco Team
