Home Learning for the school!

Home Learning  - Harvest celebration

(week commencing Monday 5^th October)

During the week of Monday 5^th October as usual we have planned opportunities throughout the week where the children learn about: food and where it comes from, visits to Maiden Castle farm, creating art pieces, cooking, thinking about seasonal food, creating goodies for the Harvest café using our orchard goodies, looking at India farming and of course the reason behind Harvest itself!

 

 We thought this year we would have a ‘Bake off’ format to the week as the ‘Great British Bake off’ has been inspiring staff as well as the nation!

 

So, if your child wishes to, the Home Learning for the children is to…

 

Create their own bread and bring into school through the week leading up to our Harvest celebration! The class will taste it and talk about how it was made.   Everyone will need to share the ingredients and how they made their bread (write down or be able to talk about).   ‘Bread’ products are wide and varied across the world, so experiment, create!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Through the week each class has also been set the challenge of creating a ‘master piece!’

 These will be displayed outside of the hall for our Harvest celebration.

 We will have our very own ‘Mary and Paul’ to taste each class’s efforts and decide upon a winner! Be ready to ask your child all about it!

 

Eco-Schools Assembly

In Assembly today, the children were introduced to our school's Eco-Committee - a group of children in Year 4 who will help to lead us in our bid to be a "greener", more environmentally aware school.
Today the "Green Team" re-read the school's Eco Code and explained to the children how they could help to follow the code.
This academic year we are intending to apply for "Green Flag" status within the "Eco-Schools" scheme. We have made a number of detailed plans which we will pursuing in our daily school routines and also studying within our curriculum.

 

Family Prize bingo!

A reminder that POWSA have organised an event tonight! Fri 18th Sept in the school hall, we welcome new families and old, children are invited too! Doors open at 5.30pm - start at 6pm.
£2 a book of tickets, lots of fun for all the family!
