Year 1 split into crews today to participate in a carousel of food preparation skills. In Miss Rodgers’ classroom we experimented with peeling different kinds of fruit and vegetables including cucumbers, apples and carrots. In Miss Schon’s room we used box graters to grate the above ingredients. Finally in Miss Cooper’s crew room we used special knives and learned how to safely chop bananas, peppers and tomatoes using the bridge and claw method. Well done everyone!
Class 7 worked super hard on the peer critique of their informal letters – there was some great collaboration going on guys! 🙂
We’ve been little DT superstars over the last couple of days! We have worked hard on gaining new skills, whilst working safely and hygienically!
This morning in crew, we continued to explore ‘Protected Characteristics’. Whilst completing a read around the room, the children gathered information on each characteristics and went on to confidently feedback to the crew their findings, linking it with their expedition learning on equality and discrimination.
Congratulations to the girls for a fantastic dance competition last weekend – you are both superstars x
This week, Year 3 took on a new challenge in XP Outdoors learning how to use knives safely. With careful guidance, they practiced basic carving techniques while following important safety rules.
Here are this week’s spellings for you to practise at home: https://drive.google.com/file/d/16nAEW6tFgQMs0AWe9Q_7YSCd02xzlrL9/view?usp=sharing
Crew Schön have been awesome at discussing internet safety this morning in crew.
WOW!!! We had a fantastic day today at the farm. We were able to hold, stroke and even feed the animals. We made some beautiful animal craft and we had a really exciting, bumpy (and some times a little smelly hehe) tractor ride. We even had time to play on the park, play tractors, bouncy castles and soft play. The children made us all so proud with how beautifully they behaved, they really were a credit to the school and to themselves.
A huge shout out to all the grown ups that came along to help and support our children and the school today, you are all amazing, Without you support this trip would not have been possible, so a Hugh thank you from us all. We hope that everyone enjoyed it much as we did.

We have had such an amazing day today related to our expedition. We have been practicing our DT skills, such as chopping, peeling and grating. The children got to eat tomatoes, bananas, cucumbers, peppers, carrots and apples.
We have also made pancakes today, using flour, eggs and milk!
The children should be full after our very food day!
