Bread Tasting in EYFS

1st October 2022M Hanratty

This week, EYFS shared the story of “The Little Red Hen” who made some bread all by herself. We started to wonder what her bread looked, smelled and tasted like so we bought a range of different types of breads to try. The children sampled panini, wraps, pittas, baguettes, tiger bread, bagels and muffins. After tasting the breads, the children gave the bread a thumbs up or thumbs down.

The staff were very impressed with the vocabulary the children used to describe the breads and were so proud that they were willing to try new foods!

Beamish Year 3

1st October 2022S Stothard

As part of our work looking at the vanishing village, today Year 3 visited Beamish to look at the mining colliery. This morning, we had a workshop called “Just One Spark” where we investigated mining explosions and what made the mines safer. Then, after lunch, we explored the village and even had a ride on the tram before returning home

It was a brilliant day and the children had a great time.

Trim Trail Challenge in Reception

28th September 2022L Carr

This week the children in Reception have been using their balance and coordination skills to explore our trim trail. They have independently climbed, balanced and moved along our outdoor equipment. We have been very impressed by the children’s confidence and determination when tackling tricky parts of the trail. It was lovely to see the children helping each other and shouting words of encouragement to their friends.

Well done Reception!
