The children thoroughly enjoyed making cheese quesadillas during Life Skills today and were so enthusiastic about the activity that many asked for more. They practised their food preparation skills by cutting a tortilla wrap in half, adding grated cheese, and folding it over before it was carefully fried for a few minutes on each side. The children were engaged throughout the process and enjoyed tasting their finished quesadillas.
In P.E today the children used lots of different skills
In writing today, we looked at describing Jack from Jack and the Beanstalk. We worked together on the board and shared our ideas by “popcorning” our answers. After that, we focused on writing the first part of our sentence. Once our sentence was complete, we checked it carefully to make sure it started with a capital letter, included finger spaces, had a full stop at the end, and used capital letters correctly.
We then underlined the different parts of our sentence using different colours to identify the who, what, and describing words. We used a red pen to correct any mistakes. Finally, we had a go at writing our own sentence independently.
In Life Skills today, the children made butter toffee bark. They practised their measuring skills by carefully measuring the milk, butter, and sugar. The ingredients were added to a pan and melted together. Once the mixture was ready, it was poured into a tray and decorated with sprinkles before being placed in the fridge to set. The children enjoyed taking part in each step of the activity.
In writing today, the children transferred their bean plants into pots filled with soil and carefully watered them. They are excited to watch their plants grow and observe the changes over time.
During the writing activity, the children organised the pictures into the correct boxes. They identified which characters belonged in the story Jack and the Beanstalk and which characters did not belong in the story.
Today in P.E., the children practised their throwing skills. They took part in a variety of activities designed to develop their accuracy, control, and coordination. The children worked hard and showed good focus while improving their technique.
In Life Skills today, the children made their own cheese and garlic naan bread. They mixed 190g of self-raising flour with 250g of fat-free Greek yoghurt to create the dough. They then rolled out the dough, placed cheese in the centre, folded the dough around the filling, and rolled it out again. Finally, they fried the naan on each side for one minute before brushing the top with garlic butter. The children enjoyed developing their measuring, mixing, and food preparation skills while creating a delicious snack.
This term, we are starting our new writing topic based on Jack and the Beanstalk. The children discussed what Jack needed to reach the giant’s castle and learned that he used a beanstalk to climb there. To link with the story, they have started planting beans and will be observing their growth and progress over time.
The children enjoyed making their own chicken pot pies and they said it tasted delicious
