In our theme Come Fly With Me Asia we have been focusing on India. Today we have been cooking! We have made two curries. One was a lentil dahl and the other was a vegetable curry. This afternoon we have been to our restaurant and ate our food, along with naan bread, poppadoms and rice. The children used their senses to describe the smells, what they could hear, see and how the food tasted. We are so proud of everyone as they all tried some new foods! 🇮🇳👏🏻😊❤️
Year 6 produced a very thoughtful assembly today to celebrate our learning within our ‘I Have a Dream’ theme.
We shared our learning about slavery, apartheid and segregation; the children also celebrated the achievements and legacy of Martin Luther King through the eyes of a child who witnessed his famous 1963 speech.
The children spoke confidently and it was clear that they have thought clearly about the important themes within this unit of work.
Thanks to all of our parents, carers and other family members who came along too – we hope you enjoyed it!
William, who is in Year 1, has made his debut for Blueline Taxi and what an amazing job he has done. We are all very proud of you William!
In 1 Blue we looked at Inukshuk stone figures. Which means ‘human being’. They were used by the Inuit in the North as directional markers. It is in the shape of a person and signifies safety, hope and friendship. We used stones, pebbles and then lego to build our own Inukshuk.
This week we have been learning about how it would feel to live in an igloo. We thought about the life of an Inuit and what they ate, where they lived and what they wore. We even tried some Inuit throat singing! We decided that we are very lucky to live in this country and eat the food we eat, we really don’t fancy walrus nuggets!
This week, as part of our Come Fly With Me: Africa theme, we made some delicious African inspired cous cous and a refreshing mango and banana smoothie to wash it down.
Almost all of us LOVED the smoothie, however the cous-cous got mixed reviews. Some of us may have over done it with the vinegar!
This week in our ‘LMTW’ lessons we have been learning about African culture. We looked at the foods from across Africa and even had a go and making and eating some ourselves. We made a cous cous dish and mango smoothies.
Today we launched our Times Tables Rockstars Battle of the Bands. Each week we will find out the class that wins their year group battle and they will be awarded the year group trophy.
