A Roman Banquet!
This morning we used spelt flour to bake our own Roman recipe bread. Spelt is an ancient grain widely grown during Roman times. We also enjoyed trying other Roman snacks such as figs, olives and the more familiar grapes and pears. Most of us agreed we prefer modern day food!
Orienteering
Today we completed our first orienteering course in PE. We used a map of the school grounds to navigate our way to retrieve the markers identified on the maps. We worked in teams to find the quickest way to complete the course without missing out any check points.
Red Nose Day 2025
We had a lovely mixture of outfits today, pyjamas, bright red tops, clothes on back to front, tops with jokes on them and of course red football shirts. We had a discussion about Comic Relief and what it tries to do then completed a ‘nose-it-all’ quiz in teams. We then watched some funny video…

Lots of fun was had at the PTFA disco, thank you to all of the adults that helped to organise it!
Noticing skills
Today we learnt a new skill, similar to our ‘Stilling’ activity, called ‘Noticing’. It is based on the idea of taking time to recognise times of energy but also times we may feel hopeless. It allows us time to reflect on our day and build on the positives, finding a good balance and noticing the…
