Year 5's Children In Need

 For Children in Need Year 5 worked hard to produce a selection of workout videos for the rest of the school to try out this week.  Hopefully they enjoyed them and got a bit fitter in the process.

Year  5 also planned and prepared an activity for each year group to take part in during Children in Need week.  These included a Treasure Hunt for Y1, Crosswords and 'Pin the Patch on Pudsey' for Y6 and a Wordsearch for Y3.  

To finish the week, Friday was a non-uniform day for the whole school in return for a donation of £1.00.

Well done everyone.  Hopefully we raised lots of money for a great cause.

Year 6's Spanish Paella

Y6 traditional cooking Spanish Paella over the fire.

We used a Spanish recipe to translate key words including cooking instructions and ingredients. Everybody worked as a team to chop and then add the verduras in slowly (pasito!) and let the rice (arroz) bubble slowly over the fire. We also discussed other paella recipes and differences we could make e.g. by adding seafood or chorizo. Me gusta mucho!

Some very thoughtful work by Year 5

Year 5 have been busy using role play and drama to empathise with the discrimination Jewish children faced during Kristallnact and WW2. They had incredible ideas they wrote in their thought bubble reflections.  Mrs Hesford
