Year 3- Class Worship- Can a robot do that?
During our class worship, the children discussed the advantages and disadvantages of having robots in our lives. Some of the advantages that the children came up with were, that the robots could clean their bedrooms, help them with their homework and have a little dance with them. The disadvantages they thought that could happen were the robot could get lazy, the robot could get bored or get carried away and throw a house party. We ended our class worship with a prayer thanking God for the technology enhancing our lives and the wonderful world.
Year 2 - DT
We had a brilliant afternoon, making our healthy sandwiches we designed last week. We prepared our ingredients by practising our cutting skills. Some of the vegetables were difficult to cut but using the bridge and claw techniques we were able to cut them up into nice sizes for our sandwiches. The children loved making their sandwiches and they were proud of their end results.
Year 2 - DT
This week, we continued our new DT topic for this half term. Last week we looked at our favourite healthy foods and which food group they fit into. This week we designed a healthy sandwich using some our favourite fruits and vegetables. The children will be able to practise their culinary skills next week when we make our sandwiches.
Year 1 D&T- Can you independently make a moving picture on the theme of remembrance?
In the creative area, Year 1 were set the challenge of independently applying their learning from their last D&T lesson to make a moving picture using sliding mechanisms. They tied this in with the theme of remembrance and made some poppies growing on the battlefield after the war, some soldiers moving side to side on the battlefield as they fought and continue to fight in the war and army aircraft moving through the air.
Y4 DT - Seasonal Stockings Commence
In our DT session this week we have been learning all about Christmas Stockings and where the idea originated from. We then moved onto analysing the form and function of various stockings then we looked at what makes each attractive and which people would prefer. We can’t wait to move onto designing our own on paper next week and selecting what materials we will use.
Foodie Friends Club
Today, after school, the Year 1 and Year 2 children in our 'Foodie Friends Club' had a great time. They made yummy cornflake cakes. The best part was when they broke the chocolate bar into pieces and saw it melt in the microwave. They had so much fun licking the extra chocolate from the spoon and bowl. They've decided that next week, they want to make chocolate chip cookies.

Year 3- Design Technology- Running stitch
The Year 3 class have started their new project in Design and Technology (D.T.). They will make a Christmas-themed pouch by the end of the unit. However, before making the final design the children will be acquiring the necessary skills for pouch-making.Today, the children looked back at what they learned in Year 2, especially how to thread a needle. Then, they practised sewing with a running stitch on a piece of felt. This will help them make their pouch.
Year 1 D&T- Sliding mechanisms
Year 1 explored sliding mechanisms in their first D&T lesson. They had to make the car move backwards and forwards along the street and the bunny rabbit move up and down in the hat. They are working towards planning and making their own moving pictures.
Reception: Cutting Skills
Reception have been perfecting their cutting skills this afternoon. They learnt how to hold scissors correctly and how to position our arms to be able to cut paper accurately. Well done!
Foodie Friends Club- Year 3 and 4
The children had a blast making mouth-watering shaped biscuits. They prepared the dough using ingredients like butter, eggs, and flour, rolled it out, and used biscuit cutters to create different shapes before baking them in the oven.
