Today we have made a sweet potato recipe used during the war. After several tasting tests, some very strange facial expressions and a class vote, I’m not sure there will be a high demand for the sweet potato spread in Year 6. Well done everybody for giving it a try.
Boys from Year 4 took part in a Football Festival at Crescent Academy this afternoon. After wins against Eaton Park and Moss Park, and a draw against Crescent Acadmey, the Sandford Hill team finished top of the group and won a fantastic trophy and now progress to a finals tournament in the Summer term. A huge congratulations to James, Ethan, Alfie W, Mason, Elliot, Alfie H, Jack and Ryan who not only played brilliantly, but were fantastic role models for the school too.
Well done boys!
Year 6 have made and tasted a recipe used to make a sweet spread used instead of jam during the war. The ingredients were a bit strange: cold mashed potato, cocoa powder and sugar! When we’d mixed the ingredients, we spread it on bread and braved the taste. Some children loved it and ate the bread and what was left in the bowl while others said it was like a ‘bush tucker trial’. Try it out – see what you think!
Watch our video to see what challenge our silly elf left us with this morning! Can you remember which common exception word you had to spell correctly in a super sentence for the elf? What a yummy elf reward you all earned. Great spelling everyone.
WOW!
Thank you to Romy for an amazing Anderson Shelter with a very realistic vegetable patch.
Lauchlan has created a model of the trenches and even put his fantastic sewing skills to use- amazing!
There has been an explosion of Winter in Reception this morning. We have made snowflakes, snowmen and painted winter trees after talking about the signs of winter.
Here are some of Year 5’s finished wire fish sculptures. Don’t they look gorgeous? Thank you to Belinda, our artist in residence for teaching us.
Year 5 – 1 have done a great job practising their sewing to make these beautiful cards. We are so impressed with them!
It would appear that our cheeky elf is desperate to be a part of our Christmas Nativity scene this year! We arrived in our Year 2 classroom this morning to find him dressed as Mary and holding the Star of Bethlehem! We found this hilarious but some of us were a little worried about keeping our parts in our Christmas performance! Panic over though, the props have been returned to their rightful owners and we even had time to complete the elf grammar challenge too! What an exciting morning!
The Nursery children have been learning about Winter and changes in the seasons. We have looked at animals that live in very cold places. Can any of your children remember the names of any animals? They have drawn fantastic penguins, painted super snowmen, assembled snowmen that are hanging so beautifully in our nursery and finally we are making snowmen biscuits. We would love to hear which activities your child has enjoyed.
Well done children you have been superstars!
