This term, Year 2’s Topic of ‘How does it grow?’ has allowed us to explore some Food Technology in our cooking room.
The children have loved learning about where and how different fruits and vegetables grow, what ingredients go well together when making salads and even learnt some new kitchen skills while preparing a range of different dishes.
This week, the children loved using the blenders to create healthy fruit smoothies. They chopped the different ingredients before putting them in the blender, mixing them up and then tasting everyone’s creations. They then had to evaluate their product and suggest how it could be improved next time!

Year 4 recently embarked on a thought-provoking unit of work, stepping into the shoes of Rainforest Detectives to solve a serious environmental mystery, in the hope of changing the future of the rainforest.
Storytelling is at the heart of everything we do, and it extends far beyond literacy. It is transdisciplinary, meaning children naturally integrate their knowledge of phonics into storytelling, create maths stories, and weave in elements of science, curiosity, and their understanding of the world.
