It was Group 2's turn to cook today. After pancakes last week, made by Group 1, it was time for something savoury. As Miss Aindow's favourite food is pizza (it's even her signing name!), we thought we would adapt the traditional pizza and make it slightly easier/healthier and cook tortilla…

In ‘My Creativity’ this week we have been having fun with musical instruments.

For World History Day, Maple Class looked at the toys children used to play with in the olden days. Maple looked at rocking horses, jack in a boxes and penny spinners. We talked about the toys we like to play with and  compared them. We then went to tables and enjoyed making some old toys…

It was our first Cooking and Nutrition session of Spring 2 and we couldn't miss the chance to make pancakes after it was Shrove Tuesday this week!
