Design and Technology - To Design a Nutritious Smoothie.
The children’s task was to taste a variety of existing products and then choose a recipe they wanted to follow. It was really interesting looking at the sugar content and calories in each product. This led us to think about what ingredients would be good to include in a healthy, nutritious smoothie. We looked at Jamie Oliver’s website to support our decision making. The children made their smoothie and evaluated their product. 
 
World Book Day 2024.
We had a wonderful time celebrating World Book Day in school. The children brought their own books in from home to swap and they completed lots of different reading activities. Fun was had by everyone! 
The children looked at the different parts of a flower in Science and learnt about which were the male and female organs.
