This afternoon, pupils sampled a range of Victorian flavourings. Flavourings included: parsley, mint, nutmeg, cinnamon, ginger and lemon juice. The children were able to link some tastes to food they have eaten previously. We look forward to using some of these flavourings in our cooking lessons next week!
Class 2 enjoyed baking bread today! We weighed out the ingredients, mixed, kneaded and made our bread balls. We are leaving them overnight and will cook them in the morning. It was so much fun! 🍞
We looked at our seeds and they had grown. We measured them and checked to see if our predictions were correct! Do you know what a plant needs to grow well?
Classes 1 and 2 love reading books!! We’re sharing our favourites … but what is your favourite book?
Class 1 and 2 joined together for their history lesson. They were looking at pictures from the Great Fire of London and discussing what happened at that time and why they think the fire spread. They then made a plaque with important information to remember this event. Great teamwork!
Staff at Southwold Primary started National Storytelling week off by sharing their favourite stories with their classes.
National Storytelling Week takes place every year and is a celebration of the power of sharing stories. Stories teach us about the world, they allow us to step into someone else’s shoes and feel empathy, they help us to relax and escape and they can help develop essential literacy skills.
Year 5 are taking part in Bikeability this week. Bikeability is a progressive programme, in which pupils first master cycle handling skills in a traffic free environment to complete level 1. National Standards Cycling Instructors help to develop pupils skills and confidence to cycle on local roads and simple junctions for level 2.
Bikeability is designed to give young people the skills and confidence to ride, especially on roads. Cycling is a life skill and learning to ride a bike is something we believe pupils should be able to achieve.
