Y4 PE days
Hello!
Year 4 will be doing PE on Wednesdays and Fridays this year.
Please could your child come to school wearing their PE kit on those days! If you’re not sure on the PE kit, please let me know and I can give you the school’s uniform policy.
Thank you!
Miss Birch

Goodbye Reception 2022!
We have reached the end of our year in Reception.
The children have all been amazing and we have been impressed with how much they have progressed. I will miss seeing them grow up!
Thank you for all your kind messages and presents.
Have a happy and healthy summer.

Fruit bars
It was back in the kitchen for Year 2 again yesterday. This time, we made fruit bars (a healthy snack option). After using fresh and frozen fruits in our fruit salad on Monday, this time we used dried fruits.
We used measuring, mixing, snipping and mashing skills.
Hopefully the children enjoyed the finished product as a snack after school!
Learning new food preparation skills
Today, Year 2 have been learning some food preparation skills while making a fruit salad. This learning also included a reminder about the 5-a-day message and that a fruit can be fresh, dried, tinned or frozen.
There are two main techniques we use for cutting – bridge hold and claw grip and the children learnt to use these techniques safely today. We also used peeling, segmenting and mixing skills. Ask your child to demonstrate these techniques at home.
We talked a lot about safety and food preparation especially around using sharp knives, that are kept in a locked drawer, and getting ready to cook (washing hands, cleaning down surfaces, tying hair back).
Then, it was time for the tasting!
I enjoyed eating the melon.
I didn’t like strawberries before but now I like them.
Now I like blueberries.
I liked the juicy melon and strawberries.
I learnt how to make a fruit salad and I want to make one at home.
I liked the melon because it was nice and juicy.
I learnt how to do the bridge and claw skill.
I learnt how to cut safely.
I learnt how to do the bridge skill for cutting the grapes.
I learnt how to use the claw skill for cutting the stalk off the strawberry.
The frozen fruit made the fruit salad moist.
I liked that when the frozen fruit defrosted, it was all juicy.
I enjoyed learning how to do the bridge hold and I liked eating the fruit.
