At this time of year, there’s a recurring theme to school: the sound of younger children rehearsing for their Christmas production! The build up to Christmas is an exciting time, but it can mean children are tired – sticking to routines and getting plenty of sleep is needed to help everyone.
DT Food
Each year, we ask for a voluntary donation to support our DT Food lessons.
This week, Year 6. children have prepared and cooked their own tomato and lentil soup. Pupils practised key kitchen skills including careful chopping, safe grating, and working confidently at the hob. They followed their recipes step by step, and produced a delicious, hearty soup to be proud of.
A fantastic hands-on lesson building independence, teamwork, and real-life cooking skills!
Topic review
Did you come to our Topic Review session last Friday? If so, thank you!
And did you manage to find a couple of minutes to leave us some feedback? Again, if so, thank you. Here are some of the comments we received…
- ‘Really enjoyed and benefited from learning about the topics my child has learned. The demonstration in front of parents was really good as parents got to participate.’
- ‘Miss Newman is clearly an excellent teacher who kept the class engaged throughout. I enjoyed the visit today and am very pleased with my son’s progress.’
- ‘Lovely to see the classroom environment and show children we are partners with school in their learning.’
Thanks to the parents who got stuck in, too – here are some pics from the Year 5 Topic Review session…
