As part of our Expedition, 2P has been practising our basic food preparation skills. We discussed the importance of good hygiene and food safety before we began any work. We split into groups and practised safely slicing peppers, mushrooms, and onions, as well as peeling and grating carrots. We then cooked these slowly to make them nice and soft. After this, we combined our ingredients to make lovely vegetable fajitas. They were delicious! Great work 2P!

Today in 2L we began our Orla Kiely inspired artwork. We have found out about Orla’s bold, printing style and we have used that to create our own work of art. The children are looking forward to completing their work later on in the week.
Can you guess what our artwork might be?

In Y2 we have been checking in on our planting experiments from last week. The seeds we watered had started to grow but the one without sunlight did not look very healthy. The ones we planted without water have not done anything at all. The children’s predictions were correct, plants need water, sun and the correct temperature to grow healthy and strong.
It was great to see some children’s cress plants come back into class so we could see how they had grown. Well done to our green-fingered classmates!

Well done to our KS1 winners this week. It was lovely to hear how you have grown in confidence and how independent you are all becoming. We were blown away by Rishaa’s beautiful writing, Kuba’s lovely reading, Boromir’s brilliant attitude to learning and Kaya’s growing confidence. Well done to every one of our winners this week.

Thank you to all of the grown-ups that were able to attend our family learning event yesterday. We began working on part of our final product for this expedition. Year 2 began to carefully weave their own bracelets, which will be used to hold their shrinky-dink ‘charms’ as we progress through the expedition. The children have to earn the charms that they have made by preparing and sampling different food. I wonder how many they will get?

2P have been learning about what a plant needs to grow and stay healthy. We then used this to plant some beans and we will keep looking after them to give them what they need. We also started an experiment where we planted some cress seeds. Two pots will have light and warmth but only one will get water. The other two pots will be kept dark and cool and only one will get water. We can’t wait to see what happens!

In-school rock and pop band lessons with Rocksteady!
It’s been fantastic to see the children having so much fun rocking out in their bands and learning new musical skills.
If your child wants to take part, visit rocksteadymusicschool.com to check available spaces.
KS1 were visited by Tim from RockSteady today. He showed us all of the exciting instruments we can learn if we sign up to some music lessons. We drummed along, sang and played our air guitars! We had a great time and even made our own band by the end of the session. We had great fun and we’re really keen to start learning instruments. You never know, we could be having our own performances by the end of the year! Please check out the letter for details!

Last week in KS1 the children enjoyed finding out all about keeping safe on the road. We were joined by Charlotte and Muffin the cat and learned all about how to walk safely near the road and how to safely cross the road using crossings. The children all enjoyed singing along and Stop, Look, Listen and cross in a straight line.
Thank you for coming to visit us, we loved it!
