Today we had our afternoon with the Blyth Woods group. We had a nice walk down to Vicarage Grove and had a look at the trees some of the older children planted a few years ago. 

They are growing really well, so we helped removed some of the plastic shelters and cut down some of the weeds. We then put down some straw as mulch to keep the roots nice and moist.

We then came back to school to weed and mulch our own tree nursery in the front car park - well done to everyone for their hard work this afternoon! A huge thank you to all the parents who came along too, it was lovely to have so many of you join us this afternoon.

We had a bit of a different day on Monday - as part of our learning about where our food comes from, we discovered how milk is made into cheese.

We then made some cheese biscuits in our groups, carefully weighing out the ingredients and following the method ourselves. 

We then tried some different cheeses - cheddar, Wensleydale, mozzarella, feta and goats cheese - some we liked and some we didn't! Some people were very brave and tried some things they had never had before and thought they wouldn't like - some people even found a new favourite type of cheese!

In the afternoon we had a special challenge - Mrs Flynn had made us some boxes of food, but we had to make sure that it was split equally into quarters or halves so that everyone had the same amount of each item, as part of our work on fractions. Everyone managed it - and enjoyed eating it all afterwards - great teamwork!

Home Learning

Due Thursday 4th July

Your home learning this week is a comprehension task based on what we have learned this week about making cheese. You will need to read the information and answer the questions - these are stuck into home learning books as normal, please see me if you get stuck or need another copy.

Please can any outstanding money/reply slips for our Foxborrow Farm trip be returned to the office as soon as possible next week, thank you!
