Sleepover is in full swing. currently out enjoying the sunshine with games on the field and a game of dodgeball.

Day 2 of Crew Fox cooking

Today was time for the main course… traffic light chicken kebabs! Before our cooking and preparation began, we learned about cross contamination. This was important to understand so that we are staying safe whilst cooking.

First we made the marinade using paprika, tomato ketchup and chopped garlic. Then we chopped the chicken in to large chunks before we marinated it thoroughly. Whilst some of us were chopping chicken, others were chopping peppers into large chunks. Finally, we created the skewers and cooked them in the oven. Delicious!

UKS2 Final Product Celebration

Dear parents/carers,


Our summer expedition final product is now ready to be celebrated. The children across UKS2 have worked alongside Green Top, Plover and Norton Juniors to produce an educational video to answer the guiding question, ‘How can a healthy lifestyle impact your body and mind?’ We would like to invite you into school to celebrate this video with our pupils on Wednesday 20th July at 8:50am. A selection of refreshments will be available whilst children share their final product and also share their learning from the whole summer expedition.

Crew MI 7.7.22 Pancakes…

We’ve been cooking again today. Today, we really enjoyed making healthy pancakes. We worked in groups and took it in turns to measure and mix the ingredients. When the mixture was ready, we each made our own pancake and had it with fruit and yoghurt. Delicious!

EYFS Summer Expedition Celebration.

Today at the Summer Fair you might have come across Ms Kelly and Mrs Rafter selling delicious ice creams. As part of our expeditionary learning the children were to research seaside foods and holiday favourites. We loved learning about ice creams!

After strenuous taste testing of different flavour ice creams and toppings. The children across EYFS decided the winning flavour to be sold at the summer fair would be ”Strawberry” topped with rainbow sprinkles and strawberry sauce. 🍦

We hope you agreed with our choice and enjoyed them as much as we did. 😋

Here is the video of all our learning. It really has been an amazing term!

New recruits for Crew Carcroft!

Today we invited the children who will be starting school in September to enjoy a soft play session. We listened to our favourite nursery rhymes while climbing, reaching, building and balancing on the equipment. We made new friends and loved talking about our favourite toys during milk and fruit.

Soup making!

Today during DT, we made our own tomato soup… from scratch! We followed the recipe and worked as mini crews to prepare the food before we began cooking. We were really patient with each other showing great HOWLs all morning.

Food labels – Can we identify the healthy options?

As part of our learning, we have explored the labels on food packaging. We have learned about the traffic light colouring which helps us make healthier options when buying food. We had a go at ranking the foods from most healthy to least healthy. Some children were shocked by some foods they though were okay but they are actually really high in sugar.

Massive shoutout to Millie, who has brought us in loads of food packaging (pretty much a weeks worth of packaging) and to the other children who contributed some food packets. I love how Crew Shields are always willing and eager to bring in resources from home to support the learning in class while also taking the pressure off myself to find everything. This is most definitely what crew is all about! 💖

Pancakes – the end of our cooking journey

Over this week we have cooked a starter, main and some healthy dessert options. Today, we have enjoyed some pancakes as we discussed that everything should be eaten in moderation so we’ve had pancakes with maple syrup and raspberries.

As with everything else we’ve baked this week, we’ve had a gluten free pancakes today. We actually preferred the gluten free option. It has really surprised us that in most cases we have enjoyed the gluten free version.
