It was great to see so many people at our celebration of learning on Tuesday. The children did a great job of sharing their learning from our expedition ‘Why is sugar not so sweet?’
As part of our celebration, we had a competition to guess how many sweets were in the jar. This was to help us raise even more money for our chosen charity – City Hearts. Congratulations to Isla for getting the closest guess of 260! The jar actually had 265 sweets in it!
What a busy couple of weeks weâve had designing and making our final product.
Weâve loved seeing our fabric design prints come to life. Weâve thought carefully about what would make them successful and fit for purpose and how they would look effective on the top of our jars.
We were proud to stick on our Green Top Goodies stickers and to place our fabrics on top, now to fill them up with our Rice Krispie treats ready to eat over the weekend!
Super proud of you all- they look awesome!!!

Clothes on for swimming? Whatâs all that about?!
Our swimming instructors discussed the shocking statistics for drowning in the UK with us this week and how easily a situation like this can arise, especially in the summer. This week, we were taught the skills to support us and prepare us for if this ever happened.
I was blown away by the sensible answers you all gave as part of the discussion and I felt so much better knowing how much you know about this and seeing how well you did in the water- despite it being âweirdâ having your clothes on in the pool.
Swimming can be fun but itâs also an important life skill!
Well done everyone!

We had a lovely expedition lesson today with an art focus.
Our crew have sketched some beautiful drawings linked to our History case study with Mrs Green last week so it has been wonderful that today we began to use watercolour paints to add some colour to them.
These are going to look gorgeous up on a display in school!

Last night we had our celebration of learning for our last expedition of the year ‘Why is sugar not so sweet?’
The children lead the celebration and showcased the learning they had done throughout the 3 case studies. It was amazing to watch you all so confidently deliver your pieces in front of the audience, it was clear for all to see how much you have learnt and taken from this expedition. To top the sweet the night off there was the opportunity to try the products you have made before taking these home for a donation.
It was an incredibly successful night, thanks to you all. We appreciate all the support you have given us and for the money raised to go towards the charity, city hearts.
Shout outs to Crew Tortora again on winning the attendance- you guys are smashing it! Also, well done to Crew Myers on being the HoWL winners too. Enjoy your biscuits!
An overall shout out and well done to everyone for trying their best in their assessments last week. It was a super hot week but you all grappled with each test and showed such determination throughout them all. We are SO proud!!
