Science Investigation

We carried out an investigation about the amount of force it takes to move an object over different surfaces. We measured the force in Newtons.

Pastry Chef Visit

Today we had a visit from Pasty Chef's Paul and Laura.

We had to compete in a scrumdiddlyumptious challenge and make our own sweet treats.

We watched a demonstration then, working in groups, wrote our own set of instructions and then followed these step by step to create peppermint creams, fruit and pastry kebabs and marshmallow delights.

What a fabulous day!

Cadbury World Trip

Cadbury Manager Visit

Today Mr Holmes came to talk to us about the history of the Cadbury Family and the Bournville area. Thank you Mr Holmes! We loved finding out about the Cadbury Family – and enjoyed learning more about Bournville.

Rosary

Today, during our RE lesson, we learnt that October is the month of Rosary. We looked at the Rosary beads.

Baptism

Today, during our R.E lesson, Mrs Goodes came to visit us with baby Annabel. She told us all about Annabel’s Baptism. She was so impressed with our knowledge. We were able to tell her what we knew about the Oil of Chrism, the God-parents, the Baptismal Candle and the White Garment.

It was lovely to meet Annabel and hear about her special day.

We got our pen licence!

Geography

Today, during our topic lesson, we worked hard to locate different continents and countries. We used maps and a globe.

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

We are really enjoying reading, Roald Dahl’s Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. This week Charlie Bucket visited our classrooms! He loved our classroom doors! He sat in the hot seat and we had the opportunity to question him about his thoughts and feelings. This really helped us to devise our story maps and plan our diary entries.
