This half term we have learnt how to cook a range of pasta dishes in years 1-6. The children learnt about where the recipe originated, where the ingredients were grown and then set about learning how to peel, grate, chop and blend to make the pesto and add it to the pasta. The children used basil, garlic and Parmesan. Michael said the garlic was just to strong, Cheyenne said the blender was hard to use as it moved the ingredients around and Tate said when he mixed the garlicky, cheesy mix with the pasta he was surprised he liked it. Well done Year 3! #keephealthy

Year built Tudor houses in art and watched them burn, very quickly, as part of their learning in history about the Great Fire of London. Year 3 were respectful, safe and sensible throughout. Well done Year 2! #keepsafe

Year 3 visited @royalmuseumsgreenwich last week. They saw images showcasing Shackleton’s journey, models of penguins and sea worthy vessels from voyages gone by. Well done Year 3!

On a moody Monday morning Year 3 had a cycling lesson with Coach Terry. Year 3 have considered the importance of cycling to school and organised a biker’s breakfast this half term. They were rewarded with a cycling lesson reminding them just how fun it is to get on your bike and peddle! #keepgreen #keephealthy

Year 3 have worked hard in art to produce a tonal study- working from light to dark. Well done Year 3, excellent work. 🎨

In geography, year 3 looked at the story of chocolate in the Spring term. A wonderful member of staff brought back a cocao bean from Ghana. We felt it, smelt it, opened it and tasted it! We considered it’s journey and we were blown away by its size and the smell. Thank you Florence.

Year 3 visited the Soanes Centre in Tower Hamlets. #keepconnected #keepgreen
