This week, we put our Home Economics skills into practice by making our very own pitta bread pizzas. We began by discussing the importance of food hygiene and safety, making sure we washed our hands thoroughly and prepared our workspaces carefully before handling any ingredients.

Using our cutting and spreading skills, we prepared our pizzas by adding tomato sauce and choosing from a variety of tasty toppings. Everyone worked hard to follow instructions, make sensible choices, and use kitchen equipment safely.

As we created our pizzas, we developed important life skills such as independence, responsibility, and teamwork. We also practised fine motor skills through cutting and preparing ingredients and learned about healthy food choices along the way.

The best part was, of course, tasting our delicious creations! We were very proud of our finished pizzas and enjoyed sharing our thoughts on what we would do differently next time.

It was a fantastic opportunity to combine learning with fun, and we all agreed that our pizzas were bellissimo!🍕😊

 

We had lots of fun getting creative with salt dough as we worked in groups to create our very own maps of Italy!

We began by using measuring scales to make sure we had exactly 100 grams of salt dough. This involved lots of problem solving and critical thinking as we worked out how to balance the scales and make sure they were level before we started.

Once our dough was ready, we used rolling pins to flatten it and glue spreaders to carefully cut and shape our dough into the outline of Italy. We had to look closely at the shape of the country and work together to make sure our maps were as accurate as possible.

It was fantastic to see everyone working together, sharing ideas, solving problems and using their practical skills to bring our learning about Italy to life!

 

Last week in basketball, we have been learning how to dribble the ball with control using one hand.

We put our skills into practice by playing Capture the Beanbag, working in teams to dribble to the hoop and back.

The children had lots of fun developing their dribbling skills! ⭐

For the moment, children will be bringing their reading book home every Monday.

Please encourage your child to read their book at home throughout the week.

We will also be reading and working on the book together in school.

Thank you!

Hi everyone, and welcome to our very first classroom blog post!

We’ve had an amazing first few weeks back and have been working super hard. We wanted to share some of our fantastic maths work with you!

This week, we’ve started learning all about place value, and we’ve been working really hard and challenging ourselves with our learning. 🧮✨

We can’t wait to share more of our learning with you over the coming weeks!

📸 A little note about our photographs

We’re working from the photo permissions I currently have noted down, so you may see a few purple hearts covering faces in our pictures. Hopefully, once all the forms from the start of the year have been returned, we’ll be able to get even more pictures up! 💜
