Half Term Extended Study – ‘Design a Dish’

14th October 2025Sophie Myers

We’re giving all children in school the chance to take part in an exciting extended study challenge — and this one’s all about food creativity!

What would you like to see on our Relish food menu?
Now’s your chance to have your say by taking part in our latest extended study task.

Get creative and design a dish using your favourite ingredients. Think about what makes your perfect meal — the colours, flavours, and even the name of your dish!

The Relish menu development team will review all entries, and the best recipes could feature on their brand-new school menus!

Design your dish and hand in to your Crew Leader by Friday 7th November!

Remember to include:

  • The name of your dish
  • A list of ingredients
  • A short description or drawing of your creation

We can’t wait to see your delicious ideas come to life!

Extended Study – Whole School Artwork – Rangoli Patterns

13th October 2025Sophie Myers

This week, we will be celebrating and learning more about Hinduism. As part of our Faith day, we would love to create a whole school piece of artwork to display in school.

To take part, your crew leaders will give you a template to create your own Rangoli Pattern. They will also have examples that you could use to create your own. Use bright coloured pens or pencils to complete your pattern so that it stands out on our display.

Once you have completed your pattern, please return it carefully to your Crew Leader ready for Crew Council to collect next week!

Extended Study – World Mental Health Day!

6th October 2025Sophie Myers

Watch the story below called ‘Lucy’s Blue Day’. Reflect on the story by sharing your ideas with your crew about different things you can do if you are experiencing big feelings such as feeling scared, anxious, frightened or angry.

Which Zone of regulation might you be in if you are feeling this way?

What could you do to make you feel better?

Extended Study – Are you up for the kindness challenge?

29th September 2025Sophie Myers

Next week is NSPCC Kindness Week, to celebrate the week we are hoping to see lots of you demonstrating one of our HOWL’s – ‘Be Kind’ and showing lots of compassion.

There will be some added activities and challenges next week but to get us prepared let’s see how many of you can tick off some of the challenges on the kindness grid. You could even have a go at creating your own kindness grid for your crew to complete!

Can you share some photographs of how you have shown kindness this week? Remember to share your story in Crew next Monday!
