Sweet Potato and Polenta Bake
We continued with our DT case study by cooking a sweet potato and polenta bake. This dish required us to use a wider range of skills such as slicing, chopping, grating, mixing, reducing liquids and then assembling the dish in a similar way to how you’d make a lasagna.
When the dish was cooked, there were lots of reluctant children who would try it. However, with some encouragement they tried a little. Surprisingly, some of them absolutely loved it to the point they crowded round the dish with a spoon.
During this case study, it’s required children to push themselves outside their comfort zone and for some they have found foods they like that they’d have been unwilling to try before.
Baking
Last week, we baked some buns as part of our DT case study. We had to collect the ingredients we needed before weighing everything out. We worked in small groups ensuring that everyone was able to participate. This allowed us to learn the skills that we’ll need for the final product.
Interpreting data
Y4 have worked hard at reading line graphs this morning. We had to also use our reading skills to answer multi-step questions, we had to re-read the statements a few times to really understand the question. Some of us used rulers to really help with being accurate when reading the line graph data.
Fantastic Freestyler, Aubree!!

Persuasive letter writing in MI
Today we finished plot point 3 of our persuasive letter! We only have our conclusion left to write then we can send our letters to Mrs Atherton 🙂
Book talk in MI
Our entry ticket allowed us to think back to our expeditionary learning and what Egyptians did for fun. We then used a partner read, echo read and an independent read to read the next part of the text. We unpicked the vocabulary as we read. Our reasons to read consolidated our understanding of the text and allowed some of our own opinions to be voiced. Our exit ticket allowed us to experiment with a range of the games and evaluate which ones we liked the best and why. We then worked on the speed of our reading, Mrs McClare timed us and we voiced how many words we had read in a minute.
Outdoor provision in nursery
Lots of teamwork and problem solving in nursery this week. The children were working together to build a run for the balls to travel down to get into the bucket at the bottom.
Using water to create paintings around the outdoor area has also been rather popular this week and we can’t wait to do more of this next week!
