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!
Thank you so much to Albie’s grandad for coming in to talk to us about his allotment and how he plants and grows vegetables. He has kindly given both classes a strawberry plant, some cress and some peas. We can’t wait to watch them grow!
The children have celebrated by making pancakes today! They have absolutely loved them!
A huge shout out to this weeks Crew Champions! A wonderful start to the week ✨
This afternoon, Year 1 students had an exciting XP Outdoor session as they learned the skill of fire lighting using flint and steel!
We discovered how sparks are made by striking flint against steel. With patience, focus, and plenty of determination, they practiced creating tiny sparks—watching in amazement as they ignited cotton wool to start a very small fire.
Not only was it fun but also a fantastic way to learn about fire safety, resilience, and the behind the scenes of fire making. The children worked together, encouraging each other and celebrating every successful spark. Well Done Year 1!!!
This morning, Year 4 students had a fantastic time celebrating Pancake Day in XP Outdoors! Instead of simply enjoying ready-made pancakes, the children took full control—mixing their own batter and cooking pancakes over an open fire.
With some support, the students carefully measured flour, eggs, and milk before whisking it all together to create the mix. Then came the exciting part—cooking the pancakes over the fire!

In KS1 Lunch Club we have been making thank you cards to show gratitude. We had a beautiful lunch club today and it was so lovely talking to the children about who they were making their cards for and seeing their lovely designs!
