Year 2- Fruit Kebabs

13th January 2025Rory Kershaw

Wow wow wow! What a fantastic start to Year 2s XP Outdoors. This afternoon we made fruit kebabs, learning all about different types of fruit and why they are important. We had apples, bananas, grapes, strawberries, melon and watermelon.

Hands washed and down to business, selecting their fruits and carefully chopping them into small pieces. With all the fruit prepped time for sliding them onto skewers, experimenting with different combinations, discussing which fruits paired best together. Last but very important enjoying eating our fabulous creations.

What a fantastic first week back!

Not only was it amazing to see the children back all looking so happy this week but doing their SLCs has been an absolute pleasure. Thank you to everyone who has attended.

Here is a brief summary of some of the activities we have done this week to help us with our new expedition this term: Ready, steady, grow: How can I be the healthiest version of me?

Key stage 1 reading books *Please read*

Reading book google form

I know that many parents are aware that we are changing how we are supporting children with their reading, moving forward. Please read the attached letter and complete the google form above.

As soon as a parent has signed the google form to say that they agree, your child will come home with their set of reading books, which will be changed on a Friday from now on.

In the meantime, please don’t worry that you don’t have school books over the weekend because any books that you read will count towards your school reading challenge.

Thank you for your support with this change

Class 8 super art work

7th January 2025Aime Shaw

We have been busy this afternoon hooking the children into their new expedition. The guiding question is ‘How can I be the healthiest version of me?’. We will be looking at the different food groups and learning some new skills in our food design and technology lessons, such as cutting, grating and peeling.

Today they chose their own fruit or vegetable and their own medium for us to use on our display. I was really impressed with the effort today! Can’t wait for tomorrow!
