Cheese Garlic Naan Bread

4th June 2026Tracy Haddock

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.

Colourful Semantics

18th May 2026Nicole Tymon

Today we used colourful semantics to talk about our activity. Colourful semantics is used for sentence building to help children understand how to make a sentence and the order we put our words and phrases in. The children first start with a “who, doing, what?” structure, which is then built upon depending on their understanding.

Today’s activity involved more planting, and today we planted thyme, basil, and oregano.

Milkshake, Yummy!

11th May 2026Nicole Tymon

Last week, we planted some strawberry seeds, we learned how the seeds will eventually grow into strawberries. Today, we used some store-bought strawberries to make a delicious strawberry milkshake by chopping them into small pieces and adding them to the blender with milk. We spoke about how we can hopefully use our plants in the future too!

Think we did a great job!

Plant Progress.

After a week the beans started to sprout! Look how excited we are 🙂

This was them after 2 weeks! Look how tall they are! Notice the difference with 4 days? WOW! We measure each day and write it on our chart. We’re excited to see how much they grow over the weekend.

The seeds we harvested from our tomatoes have even started to grow! Amazing!

Flower Power.

8th May 2026Nicole Tymon

Over the past week, the children have sequenced the stages of plant growth and made and labelled their own flowers, all doing a fantastic job! Not only did they love creating the flowers, but they were also enthusiastic when talking through how plants grow. They are showing great interest and knowledge within the Growth and Change topic.

Tomato time!

27th April 2026Nicole Tymon

Last week, we extracted seeds from a tomato and carefully laid them out to dry over the weekend, getting them ready for planting. Learning the life cycle of the food we eat, with this were planting more edible plants each week. We also watched a video about how tomatoes grow, and the children were fascinated by a time-lapse showing the plants growing taller and taller. They loved seeing how tomatoes start off green and gradually turn red, and were excited to learn that tomatoes can come in many different colours too. We’re all looking forward to watch how tall our tomato plants will grow!
