Earth Day 2021

By l.robson April 30, 2021

As part of Earth day and Science Hazel class planted some broad beans last week.

We then carried out an experiment, where we removed one or more food source away. Some pupils could only give their bean water, others just light and one pupil decided not to give his water or light. Pupils made predictions about whether or not their bean would grow.

This week we observed the beans to see if they had grown, we made some interesting discoveries.

No sunlight and no water No sunlight but can have water Sunlight and water

sunlight and water sunlight and water sunlight but no water

Pupils who could water their plants did.

We then filled in our bean diary to record our findings.

Geography and Cookery in Hazel.

By l.robson April 30, 2021

Hazel class introduced their host county Italy this week.

We asked the question ‘What do I know about Italy?’

Our different answers were;

“It’s a country” “blue and white” “He’s a girl” “Italy” “I don’t know”

As a class we discussed the population, climate, schools, flag, landmarks, language and food.

We then decided to make some pizzas to have for snack time.

We worked as a team to mix and then knead the pizza dough.

We then rolled and cut the pizzas out.

Grated the cheese, prepared the toppings and spread the tomato puree.

Finally we added the different toppings we wanted onto our pizzas.

At the end of the lesson we asked the questions again ‘What do I know about Italy?’

some of the pupils answers;

“warm” “red, white, green” “pizza” “ciao” “pisa”

Well done Hazel class!

Next week we will be comparing a traditional English breakfast with an Italian one.

Primary Enrichment

By l.robson April 30, 2021

On a Friday afternoon in Primary we have been joining enrichment groups.

The cookery group met in Hazel class and we made some chocolate crispies.

The boys chose which chocolate they wanted before breaking it up into a bowl.

They then melted the chocolate in the microwave, checking it did not burn and trying very hard not to lick the chocolate spoon.

The boys then mixed in the crispies before putting them in the bun cases.

Whilst the chocolate crispies were setting the group went outside in the sun to wash up their dishes.

Well done boys, fantastic job!
