Reception DT
Some of our children decided to build their own racing track. They worked together as a team and solved problems along the way. Our class enjoyed using the track to find out which car was the fastest on the track!
Reception Junk Modelling
The children have created an ambulance and fire engine. They collected recyclable materials and built their chosen vehicles. Super work!
Year 1 D&T- using the fork secure technique and the bridge hold technique to cut fruit.
As part of their D&T unit, Year 1 learnt some new techniques for cutting fruit today. They learnt how to cut strawberries using the bridge hold technique and how to cut pear slices using the fork secure technique. They listened really well and performed the two techniques very carefully. They can’t wait to apply their skills next week as they prepare and make their breakfast pot of fruit and yogurt. Well done Year 1.
Cooking and Nutrition- Year 5
Year 5 had the opportunity to practice some food skills in this lesson. We first watched the food skills videos ( peel, chop and grate) and then practiced them. The food that the children prepared was then used to create a salad bar which they were able to taste from at the end of the lesson.
Design and Technology - Cooking and nutrition
This term in D.T, Year 5 have been learning about different types of salads and ingredients used in salads around the world. They have been learning about healthy eating ( with a focus on fibre), researching different salads and finding salads which originate from other countries. Over the new few weeks, they will be practicing using food preparation skills, safely and hygienically then designing and making a salad for tea.
Design Technology
Year 6 have been using paper to test strength in design and technology.
Hybrid text- Year 5
Year 5 has been inspired by Professor Branestawm inventions and have come up with ideas for their own designs. They have worked exceptionally well and produced some amazing writing: an explanation text, information text and a persuasive text ( hybrid text).
Year 3 Science - How muscles work

Junior Bake Off
Do you know any young budding bakers between 9-12 years old?
Superheroes topic launched in Reception!
Today we have launched our brand new Superheroes topic in Reception. We read the story of Supertato. The evil pea has been causing lots of trouble for the teachers in Reception. The children have created their own Supertato characters and have been designing jails and capes to defeat the evil pea. The evil pea has been hiding all day in our classroom but our Superheroes have been brilliant at locating him! What a super start to the new half term!
Year 3 - DT making a healthy sandwich
In DT we have been using our knowledge of healthy eating from Science in order to design and make a healthy sandwich.
