Today we made flapjacks and spring roll. This involved many essential baking and cooking skills. We are now experts at cutting, chopping, rolling, mixing, pouring and shaping many different foods.
Have a look to see what skills we have been learning.
In university today we were shading and drawing what we could see in a little shape like a square. This is a viewfinder. We could do it portrait or landscape. We were learning how to draw to make texture. It was fun.
Have a look at the photographs. Could you draw these?

This week we investigated light.
Mrs Daniels set us this investigation question;
‘In the film The Mummy, Evie and Rick lit up a cave using mirrors. Could you light up your entire house using a light source and mirrors?’ It was a challenge. Have a look to see our investigations.
Well done to Dante and Hammaad for being the successful team…You made fantastic scientists.
This week Mrs Daniels set us a challenge to use the wooden sticks and rubber bands to make a bridge. It sounds easy but it wasn’t. We had rules. It had to span a 70cm gap, hold a 1kg weight and we had to use our creativity and curiosity powers. We were all successful…eventually! As a group we learnt to work together and now we are ready to become scientists.
What do you think of our bridges?

Wild in the Woods has been action packed this half term! We have done various activities such as shelter building, web making, mud painting, tool use, environmental art and making a tent peg. We even made some strange discoveries too.
We have had a brilliant time investigating, designing and making our own T shirt in Funky Fashion. [slideshow]
Have a look to see how we made our T shirts…
Children from years 3, 4, 5 and 6 have enjoyed designing patterns for placemats, bookmarks and cards.

This week at Calthorpe Haven we spotted some unusual bright blue feathers. Miss Thomas informed us that they belonged to a rare species of bird that is hardly ever seen in the UK. She told us that we need to make a hide so we could film the bird arriving at site. The footage would be wanted by BBC Springwatch due to the rarity of the bird. Our hide had to be able to fit a camera and a person it. It also had to face the fire circle and we had to work in teams of our choice. These are our hides:
