We wrote a list of ingredients so we knew what to buy at the shops and wrote a letter to Mr Isherwood to see if he would like any pancakes.
We enjoyed mixing the ingredients and even did the washing up!
The pancakes were delicious!
Children’s Work
Book cafe in Dove class
As part of Book Week, Doves took part in a reading ‘restaurant’, where they sampled and discussed lots of their classmates’ favourite books. They then created a menu of their top three choices.
Mini Archaeologists
Today, Dove class became archaeologists! They carefully excavated shards of pottery, used a rim sheet to calculate the pot’s diameter, drew analytical drawings and cross sections, and then attempted a delicate reconstruction. Many of them said they wanted to go home and excavate in their gardens..apologies for any damage they cause!
Awe and Wonder!
Do you know that feeling of seeing something so amazing that you said, “Wow, that’s awesome!”?
This week, the ice has inspired Sheep’s class learning.
We have formed our own investigations, learnt new scientific vocabulary and even used magical sprinkles to ‘stick’ ice to string!
Cave Art
Dove class have been getting to grips this week with the techniques and materials early man used to create cave paintings. They began by experimenting with drawing in semi-darkness and upside down under their desks. We then collected twigs and used them, along with fingers and feathers, to draw their own pictures with mud, berry juice, charcoal and chalk. We think they’ve turned out really well! 
Well done KS2 Talent Show contestants (click image for more photos)
Well done to all who took part. We could see the children had rehearsed so much – and what amazing talent they had! A special mention to Emma (1st place – ribbon dancing), Mason (2nd place – beatboxing) and Bethany, Brooke and Natalie (3rd place – dancing).
My First Story Competition
I am so excited to share our published stories! Well done to all of the Year 1 children involved.
Year 1 parents if you ordered the “My First Story”, please see me in the morning so I can pass them on!
Thank you

Early Years Science Workshop – click on photo for more photographs
We hosted a Science Workshop for Early Years Children in conjunction with our local childminder.
The children thoroughly enjoyed lots of experiments particularly making glow-in-the-dark elf bogeys!
Wartime DT
Doves have been learning all about wartime rationing and how people used strange ingredients in their foods in an effort to ‘make do’. Today we had lots of fun making carrot biscuits and taste-testing them to see if the carrot was a good sugar substitute (the recipe only used a very small amount of sugar). The biscuits proved pretty popular, so much so that the children asked if they could have the recipe to make them at home (see below!)
