The children have enjoyed learning all about Chinese New Year and the traditions that happen at this time of year.

The children have been looking for signs of winter in Forest school.

We have been reciting poems and recording each other.

After a discussion in RE about the values of Christian beliefs, we thought about our own values and beliefs. The children wanted to share their thoughts and beliefs, we have some wonderful values that are reflected though the children’s actions.

As part of our DT unit we are designing pizza’s to market. After some research, the children have created a mood board of ideas in groups. Look at the ideas, I can’t wait to see these develop into designs and a finished product.

Y4 are designing and marketing pizzas, as part of our market research we had a taste testing session. The children explored the taste, smell, appearance and texture of the pizzas for ideas of how to design the best pizza to market. The children thoroughly enjoyed some colourful, cheesy, doughy, crunchy pizzas 🍕
