Year 1 - Computing/English - Algorithms.
Year 1 have been deepening their understanding of instructions. We looked at the importance of clear, precise language which would help the reader to understand what needed to be done. With this in mind, we partnered up and gave clear instructions for planting cress - we hope to see some results soon! This also helped to solidify our computing knowledge of algorithms, a digital step by step set of instructions.
year 1 - Aim High Morning.
On Thursday morning, Year 1 attended a wonderful fair in the hall called "Aim High". Each exciting stall was run by people from our community, ready to answer all of the questions about their booths we could possibly think of! Year 1 enjoyed learning their names in sign language, discovering how saving money benefits us in the future, brushing the giant teeth with the dentist, speaking to Rev Kev about his role as our priest and getting a chance to ride the pretend horse. The children were fully captivated by every opportunity and all came away from the experience beaming.
Year 4 - Design and Technology - Pizza Making
In DT, Year 4 have been looking at how to make pizzas and in this lesson they all made their own pizzas using a readymade pizza-base. The children had a variety of toppings to choose from. First, the children spread the pizza sauce onto their pizza base and after that they decorated their pizza with a reasonable amount of toppings. Then they put cheese on top of the toppings and Mrs.Mountain helped to put the pizzas into the oven and take them out. After a little waiting, the children finally got to eat their delicious pizzas.

Our guide breaks down the most prominent ways in which scammers attempt to use ‘fake news’ to their advantage, as well as how to protect youngsters from being manipulated by such techniques.

Reception Class - Making Chocolate Mug Cakes!
The children were so excited this afternoon as we finally made our chocolate mug cakes. The children have been learning about ingredients and recipes this week, and our story has been Chocolate Cake by Michael Rosen. The children had to follow the recipe, carefully counting the number of spoonfuls of each ingredient. We then talked about what would happen when we cooked the mug cakes in the microwave. Some of the mug cakes rose so high, they spilled over the sides like a chocolate volcano!
