Year 3- Science- Making Edible Intrusive and Extrusive Igneous Rocks.
The Year 3 Scientists are having a blast learning about different kinds of rocks and soils this term in science. This afternoon, the children had a super fun and exciting lesson where they made edible rocks to see how igneous rocks are formed. They made two types: one that forms underground (called intrusive) and one that forms above ground (called extrusive). Then, they compared the two to learn more about rocks.
Year 3- Food Technology- Making Japanese Skewers
This afternoon, we kicked off our Food and Technology unit, exploring the diverse climates where fruits and vegetables grow. We then followed a recipe to create delicious Japanese skewers. We had some very eager children who enjoyed them right away while others took them home.
Year 2 - DT
In DT this week we finished our finger puppets! Last week, we; created the shape and size of our finger puppets, traced our shapes on to felt, cut the pieces of felt out and then stuck our pieces together using fabric glue. This week it was time to add the details of our finger puppets and make the characters come alive. This included googly eyes, mouths and some pointy ears for our wolves. The end results are superb and are definitely fit for purpose. The children should be very proud of the perseverance they showed to over come challenges.
Year 2 - DT
During DT this week, we continued learning about different types of puppets and how they are made. This week it was time for us to have a go at making a finger puppet. The children showed determination to complete the first steps of their puppet despite challenges along the way. Next week, we will add details to our puppets and evaluate our designs and making.
Whole School -Design Technology- Christmas Fayre
This term in Design and Technology (D.T.), children from every class have been busy creating special things with a purpose. They showed off their creations at our school's Christmas fayre. Reception made cute Christmas decorations, Year 1 made Christmas-themed characters that move from a book, Year 2 put together yummy fruit kebabs, Year 3 crafted pouches, Year 4 made stockings, Year 5 created comfy cushions, and Year 6 invented their own steady hand game. Everyone should be proud of what they made because when parents and visitors saw the products, they were amazed! Each class did a fantastic job turning their creativity into awesome projects.
Year 2 - Fruit Kebabs
Today was the day we got to make our fruit kebabs for our Christmas fair! We had a very exciting afternoon as we created our healthy masterpieces. The children loved designing their kebabs in previous weeks and now using their plan to create a yummy and healthy snack for the Christmas fair. There was a lot of temptation to eat them before the fair but we managed to hold off so we could show everyone our amazing culinary skills. The children put a lot of thought into the colour and shape of the fruit they chose so they were suitable for the Christmas fair. They should be really proud of their final results.
