It was lovely to welcome so many families to our regular Curriculum Sharing sessions this week. The fun lessons strengthen home-school links and provide a great opportunity for parents and carers to find out more about what their children have been learning. The children were very proud to share their work with all those who attended.
Year 4: The session was the final element of our design and technology sequence where the children had tested materials, gathered design ideas and decided on final designs to create a Viking Longboat during the afternoon.
The afternoon culminated in the children and adults sticking to a design brief which included the Viking Boats having recognisable features like sails, oars, prows (heads of animals at the fronts and backs of the boats), be able to float on water and be watertight. All groups made an excellent effort to make their ships look like a Viking ships but there were a few ships that did not quite manage to balance on the water!
Year 3: Year 3 put their tastebuds to the test by making Winter Vegetable Soup! They learned lots of new vocabulary to describe tastes and textures, then prepared six different vegetables to try. Depending on their preference, they then created their own soup, combining the ingredients they had prepared earlier in the day.
Some recipes were more popular than others, but it was great to see everyone trying something new and coming up with a whole host of new varieties of soup!
