Year 4 - Evaluating Their Pizza Creations

In DT, year 4 evaluated their yummy pizzas. They thought about what was good about their pizza and how they could have improved it or made it better. They also discussed whether their pizza matched the design that they originally planned and gave suggestions for other toppings if they were to make the pizza again.

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.

We sorted foods into the different food groups, and were surprised to find out that some food like biscuits and cakes were not part of the food groups on the eatwell plate!

Year 4 Design Technology - Roman Sandals

We further developed our Roman sandal designs this week, and tried to really understand the purpose of shoe laces and how we can incorporate them into our designs. We managed to make paper sandals which actually fit on our own feet! Next week, we will be designing our final outcomes, using evaluations from our mock ups.

Year 4 DT - Making Roman Sandals

This week in year 4, as part of our History topic and DT topic, we have made some 'mock-up' Roman sandals. We had to be very innovative in our thinking and some of us had to start over when we realised we could not get our feet inside! It was great fun, and we now have a good idea of what our real ones will look like.

Reception - Smoothie Bike!

Reception took part in the smoothie bike experience this morning, and although our feet didn’t touch the pedals, we had great fun! The children discussed different types of fruits that they liked and learned how many portions of fruit and veg they should eat every day. The children tried 3 different smoothies altogether; strawberry and banana, mango and pineapple and then one with all of the fruit together.
