Crew Longley and Crew Godley have been working hard to perfect their line drawings of our school for our final product. We have developed our sketching skills, including shadow, tone and texture.

Germs…lots of germs
As part of our DT case study, we have been discussing bacteria and how this can have a negative effect on our bodies. We have highlighted the need for washing our hands and why this is essential to keep those germs under control.
We have conducted an experiment which we will observe over the next few weeks. This is where we have rubbed bread over a range of services to see where the most germs are. To help us make a comparison, we have ensured one slice of bread was handled by someone who had washed their hands and used hand sanitiser. Watch this space…
All About Hygiene
In expedition today, we learnt about the importance of hygiene when preparing food and the risks that we need to be aware of in the kitchen. As well as learning about where to store food in a fridge, we also looked at different types of bacteria and how they can spread and harm us. Our main focus though was looking at the cleanliness of everyday surfaces through an investigation. We rubbed some bread on a range of surfaces (as well as setting up a control, thanks Bobby) and sealed them in a bag to observe changes over time. As we made our predictions, we thought it only fair that you made yours too. Click on the link below to let us know which surface you think is the dirtiest!
Experiment time in MI!
Today we carried out a mini experiment as part of our DT lesson. The experiment allowed us to think about hand cleanliness and why food hygiene is so important. We brushed bread over different surfaces and then placed the bread in food bags. We then predicted what will happen to the bread in each bag over the next couple of weeks.
Exploring our school kitchen – Crew Shields 21/6/22
This morning, we have had the opportunity to explore the school kitchen to help us understand the importance of storing and handling food correctly. This definitely answered the question of one student who has always wondered what happens in there. Massive thank you to Val for being an excellent tour guide.
MI start case study 3- Design and Technology
Today we started our Design and Technology case study! We thought a lot about food hygiene and what cross contamination is. We thought about how we can prevent cross contamination when preparing food, cooking and serving food. We then looked at different types of bacteria and completed a mini quiz to assess our understanding. From here we thought about our fridges at home and what they do. We thought about which foods go where in the fridge and why. We are all looking forward to visiting the school kitchen and allowing the ladies in there to show us how they prepare food safely, how they prepare our school meals and what the fridge looks like in there.
Paul Chrystal Author Visit (13.6.22) 📚
Today, LKS2 were very lucky to have local author Paul Chrystal lead a discussion about our Guiding Question. Mr Chrystal has published over 120 books and we wanted to get his expertise on sweets, of which he had tonnes of knowledge to offer. During the talk, Mr Chrystal looked answered the Guiding Question ‘Why is sugar not so sweet?’ through a health angle. He talked us through how sugar is not always the healthiest, even though we all love sweets.
Thanks for a great talk Mr Chrystal, I know LKS2 appreciated the knowledge and tips to enjoy sweets healthily. Check out our images below for how the talk looked! 😆
LKS2 Jars!
Hi everyone,
As part of our Expedition, we are hoping that instead of recycling your jam jars, Year 3 and 4 would be able to have them!
They could be the size of jam jars, preferably, as a reference.
Thank you in advance,
Crew LKS2 🙂
Expeditionary learning
After a super busy SATs week last week, we have now started catching up with our expedition ‘How can a healthy lifestyle impact your body and mind?’ hook week. Here are some pieces of artwork we are proud of. Every single piece is beautiful but here are just a few!
In DT we did a blind food tasting session and had a go at tasting food we had never tasted before! Our reactions to certain food were a picture! We then challenged ourselves to a game of ready steady cook and were given 3 ingredients to create a simple dish. We made some sugar cookies and discussed why they are unhealthy.
