Year 4 Adapting a Recipe – Baking seasonal Biscuit

Year 4 have been busy developing their very own biscuit recipes as part of their Design and Technology learning. The children carefully calculated the cost of ingredients, designed and prepared packaging by upcycling cereal boxes, and thought creatively about how to adapt their biscuits to make them even more successful. One of the highlights was experimenting with icing and decorations, which they thoroughly enjoyed adding to their creations. This project gave pupils a fantastic opportunity to combine practical skills with imagination and problem‑solving.

Stitching Success in Year 3

Year 3 have wowed us with their cushion‑making skills as part of their Textile: Design, Make and Evaluate scheme of learning. From sketching out imaginative designs to mastering cross stitch and running stitch, the children showed determination and flair at every stage. They even added applique to bring their ideas to life. The results? Cushions that are bursting with personality and creativity — and the children can’t wait to take them home to show off their fantastic work!

Make My Voice Heard

Year 6 children explored powerful themes of identity and self-expression. Through dramatic drawing, graffiti-inspired art, and collaborative pieces, they learned how to communicate messages and emotions visually with confidence and creativity.

Pizza Making Workshop

Year 4 children had a fun and hands-on pizza making experience at school, guided by the friendly team from Squisitos. They learned how to knead dough, choose toppings, and create their own delicious pizzas to enjoy and share.
