Our Class Trip to Frankie and Benny's

Class 4 and 5 went on a class trip to Frankie and Benny's today to learn about food from around the world for our new topic 'Global Gourmet'. While we were there, we started off by the manager Gemma telling us all about how Frankie and Benny's started and teaching us about the different dishes they sell, and how the food they use is transported to them by ships. For example, the cheesecakes they sell are made in Chicago! We were allowed to make our own fruity cocktails for our drink. We then got to make our very own pizzas, where we had to spread the special sauce on the pizza base ourselves, and choose our own toppings! 

We then watched the chef put our pizzas in the stone oven to cook. When they were done, we ate them and they were delicious! Everyone enjoyed the pizza's they made.

Everyone enjoyed the class trip and we learned loads about Italian food that we can use for our topic 'Global Gourmet'. Frankie and Benny's even made us all VIPs for life! Thank you Frankie and Benny's!

World Book Day

Class 4 took part in World Book Day today by dressing up as our favourite characters! Everybody looked amazing and we made a great effort.

We also did an oral presentation on the book reviews we completed as homework - it was interesting to find out about everybody's favourite books and we will certainly check out the recommended books in our class library! 

Our trip to Tesco.

We had a fantastic trip to Tesco this week. Here are some of the comments the children made about their experience. 

" I liked it when we had to make faces on the wheetabix!" Cai.

"It was fun learning about the bread and where fruit comes from!" Mary-Kate.

"I liked trying the doughnuts!" Taylor.

"I liked the bread tasting" Aaliyah.

"I liked it when we found out how they actually make the bread!" Robbie.

Our trip to the Miner's Museum.

We had a fantastic trip to the Miner's Museum! Everyone enjoyed exploring the mine, learning about mining in the Victorian Era and dressing up too! We learned about Victorian life, in particular what it would have been like to be a child at this time. The children all decided that they would much prefer to go to school!! Here are some of the highlights of he trip.

Happy New Year!

A very 'Happy New Year!' to you all! 

This week we took part in our innovate project based on our 'Light and Sound' topic. In groups of 4 we discussed what light and sound object we would like to create for our class sensory area. There were some fantastic ideas. Some children made light pictures, other's a shadow theatre and shiny shakers. Two groups recorded calming music by using specific instruments! By Friday, most groups had presented their  creations to the rest of the class. Well done everybody! We shall now use our sensory area next week!

Christmas 2014!

A very warm welcome back to school! I hope you all had a fantastic Christmas holiday and I would like to thank everyone for their generous Christmas gifts. Due to a technical hitch, I was unable to publish photos from just before the Christmas holidays where we enjoyed a very successful Christmas Concert, a lively Christmas party and  a range of practical science activities provided by Techniquest. 

Here are some of the photos capturing our enjoyment at the end of last term!

Children in Need!

Many thanks to all the children for their kind donations for Children in Need. You all looked fantastic in your costumes! Super moves on the dance floor too!
