In our expedition lesson, we got creative and made some buns. We used a range of baking skills to make the vanilla buns! We had so much fun and can’t wait to bake the next dish tomorrow!

EYFS Celebration of Learning
A huge thank you to the grown ups who joined us for our EYFS Celebration of Learning. We loved creating collages of pirate hats and mermaid tails with you, and we were really proud to give out our final products – bin stickers to encourage recycling within our local community.
Painting Rangoli Patterns
Following on from our colour mixing lesson yesterday we began painting our Rangoli patterns.
We used lots of different colours to make sure they were bright and colourful.
Rangoli Patterns
Yesterday in expedition, our case study three, Hinduism, we began looking at Rangoli patterns. Today we explored mixing primary, secondary and tertiary colours.

Islamic Art work
Today we created our Islamic tiles. We have been exploring the work of William Morris, a British designer who used lots of patterns in his artwork. We were lucky to hear from our very own expert, Mr Hull, about William Morris’ art work as he has visited his house to have a look at some very exciting pieces. We used techniques previously taught to design our own tiles which will have a very special home in a local mosque.
Crew MI makes a fruit salad
Today in our DT lesson, we learnt about the different cooking techniques and then had a go at following a recipe to make a fruit salad. We learnt how to hold a knife safely and ensured that we washed our hands before we started. We then ensured we tidied and washed up after ourselves. Finally, we went outside in the sunshine and enjoyed eating it.
Art continues in MI
Another fantastic afternoon working on our art work 🙂
Art in MI
Some of us started working with water colours this afternoon in our art session. We used water colours to paint our own bees 🙂 We were all super focussed and loved doing this after a morning of assessments.
The other half of MI worked independently on some sketching. Children used a step by step clip to create their own drawing of a bee. There were some great first drafts 🙂 We can’t wait for our final versions!
Kitchen tour in MI
Today we joined Amy in the kitchen where she discussed food hygiene and safety with us. She gave us a tour of the kitchen and showed us what happens on a daily basis when preparing our school dinners. She discussed the equipment she uses and why certain chopping boards are certain colours. She talked about cross contamination and why basic food hygiene is so important. She then showed us the school fridge and discussed where foods need to go. She linked this back to cross contamination. This was such a great opportunity for us and will support us in our first design and technology lesson tomorrow 🙂
