The children in Year 5 enjoyed an amazing afternoon with some Newcastle Eagles players.

The Hoops 4 Health roadshow concentrated on health messages such as mental and social well-being, how to stay fit and look after the heart and lungs, stay hydrated with tap water and eating a balanced diet. The children also had the opportunity to take part in some basketball activities with the Eagles players!

The children were fantastic at answering the players’ questions and taking part in the activities.

Well done everyone!

Year 5 showed off their baking skill in DT recently. We had a lovely (and rather messy) morning mixing batches of bread dough then adding our chosen additional ingredients. After the dough had risen, we shaped our bread into rolls following the designs we’d chosen to use. Finally, we tasted and evaluated our bread rolls once they had been baked.

Good job, Year 5!

Year 4 had a fantastic morning today when they worked in house groups to make their own pasta sauce recipe that contained hidden vegetables.

The childen worked very well in their teams to prepare the veg and season their sauce before tasting their wonderful creations.

The sauces were all very different but equally delicious!  The children ranked their sauces in order of preference and were very honest and constructive in evaluating each other’s recipes.  Many of the children felt that the sauce made by Teresa house was the tastiest with a close second in Bernadette.

I loved the way the children were so complimentary towards each other – many of them even wrote down Teresa house’s  recipe to try at home!
