We would like to invite parents and carers of children in years 5 and 6 to our celebration of learning on Thursday 7th July at 5pm. We would like to share our learning from Summer term and demonstrate how we answered the guiding question: How can a healthy lifestyle impact your body and mind? The celebration will begin in the KS2 playground (weather permitting) where the children will narrate their learning with you before moving to the hall where we will showcase the videos each crew have created that help answer our question. We look forward to seeing you there.

Another fantastic afternoon of enthusiastic and independent baking! I am so proud of your crew work and amazing attitudes. You were all able to measure accurately, follow a recipe and ensure hygiene rules were followed. Your blueberry muffins look amazing – even the ones without the blueberries!!! :))

This morning in maths, the children created their own equivalent fraction loop cards. They went on to play each others to see if they could connect the equivalent fractions. Finding equivalent fractions requires the use of multiplication and division facts so keep practicing these at home!
Yesterday in expedition, we worked in mini crews to scale down a recipe to create a healthy fruit salad. As well as measuring the correct amount of each ingredient to make half the recipe, we ensured we applied our knowledge of hygiene and handling foods and equipment safely.
It was great to have an afternoon of hard work and enjoyment, where the children worked as highly effective teams, taking on roles and ensuring everyone participated.
The children went on to scale up the recipe, working out how much of each ingredient they would need if we doubled the recipe.
The afternoon was completed by eating a fresh and healthy snack made all by themselves.
Great work guys! From Mrs Jackson x
Check out what Oliver got up to at the weekend. I can’t believe he was brave enough to stand in the water and let the baby sharks swim around him. Oliver loved sharing lots of new facts about the sharks with our crew and he certainly taught me things that were new!
Thanks Oliver, from Mrs Jackson
