It was great fun!

In our DT unit, Year 6 have been learning about chocolate, from bean to bar. Our final piece was to design and make their very own chocolate truffles! The children chose their own chocolate, flavourings and toppings to cook their truffles. They did amazingly!
Today was the final step of our autumn term DT project – electronic board games. Children spent the day applying the circuit building skills they have been practising along with their final design plans to great an ancient Egyptian themed operation game. Well done children, your final products are fantastic!
Kristian went for a tomb raider approach where you have to remove the treasures from the Pharaoh’s tomb!
In Jame’s game, players have to remove a mummy’s organs and put them into canopic jars
Millie cleverly included the Egyptian god Anubis in her game. Dare you steal the precious jewellery?
As part of our Design and Technology unit in Year 3 this term, we are creating healthy soups that the fishermen could take on trips with them.
Before we can create our soups we have talked about healthy ingredients and what we could put in our soups. As part of the preparation to make soup we talked about how to cut the vegetables we are going to use.
We have practised our cutting skills this week in preparation for making our soup.
We all had the opportunity to practise both our claw and bridge grips to make sure we could cut our vegetables safely and securely.
We are ready to do lots more cutting when we make our soups now.
Bridge Building!
Yesterday afternoon F2 had a wonderful ‘stay and play’ session themed around building bridges!
To finish our story of ‘The Three Billy Goat’s Gruff’ we decided it would be nice to invite our families in to help us make our very own bridge for the Billy Goats to cross! We made and designed some fantastic models and showed great team-work, determination, perseverance and hard work!
Thank you to everyone who came in for our session, we hope you enjoyed it as much as us!
A fabulous morning designing and building bug houses in our STEM room. Lots of chatter, concentration and teamwork!
A lovely afternoon spent in the F2 garden planting tomato plants, sowing wildflowers seeds and building bug houses! We have kindly been donated lots of tomato plants and the children could not wait to plant these in our quiet sensory garden. We are helping each day by making sure the plants are watered and free of any pests or weeds! We have also created a ‘wildflower patch’ and are hoping to see this grow over the Summer months. This will hopefully encourage lots of bees and butterflies to our garden and we can’t wait to spot the different insects that might come! In preparation for the many insects we hope to spot we have all had a turn this week at building up our bug hotel! This was lots of fun nature hunting for different materials to pack in our bug house and we hope we have made it welcoming to our little insect friends!
Our final stage of our DT learning journey: making bread.
Today the children made their ‘bread in a bag’ by working through a range of instructions. They then moulded their mixture to fit with their final designs, added their desired toppings, and ended up with delicious bread that is fit for an Anglo-Saxon and Viking feast!
The pod smelt good enough to eat!
In our DT unit, year 5 are investigating, designing and making bread that is fit for an Anglo-Saxon feast.
In today’s lesson, the children watched a demonstration of how bread is made. Miss Mead showed the children the step-by-step process that must be followed to create delicious bread!
The children were extremely enthusiastic and loved to help.
Wow! What a busy day we have had in Y4. Previously, children have investigated the features of different coin purses, practised various ways of stitching fabric together and have designed their own purse. Today they finally got to make the product. Children worked brilliantly throughout the day on their sewing pieces and it was great to see so much thought, care and attention going into their work – the end results were amazing. Well done Y4!
Super proud of their work: Scarlotte, Harvey, Lennie and Betsy.
A wide range of fabrics and designs were used.
Jacob focusing very hard on getting his stitches neat but secure.
The blanket stitch was tricky, but children showed real determination!
