During Golden time, the children created some fantastic pictures using materials they gathered from around the school site. What imaginations!

We enjoyed taking part in an inter-school football competition.  There was great teamwork and everyone really entered into the spirit of the event.  Well done Discovery (yellow team) for being overall winners!

This week was S.A.W (Science, Art, Writing) week and the theme was ‘Lunchbox Science’.

We investigated changes that happen to foods, and we found out that some changes are reversible, where others are irreversible.  We each baked our own bread roll, and we even churned our own butter.  Then, we…

At the beginning of the week, we looked at some wheat poems to gain inspiration. We…

This afternoon we’ve made our very own sandwiches. We used our homemade butter and added a filling of jam or cheese.

The children were able to cut open their bread rolls, spread the butter and jam or grate the cheese.

The children ate them and said they were delicious!

The children have made a great start to SAW week. We have been painting and using pastels to create their own propaganda posters, based on WW2 and sticking with the food theme of SAW week. We have also been learning a poem to perform during Harvest Assembly: A Little Bit of Food. On top of this,…
