On Thursday 19th October 2017 Year 6 visited Pizza Express in Newcastle. They got the chance to make their very own pizza’s! The children had a brilliant time.. and even got to take their own pizza’s home for tea!
On arrival, they were given a guided tour of the restaurant and then all the fun began. As junior chefs, they tossed their pizzas into the perfect shape. A huge dollop of tomato sauce was added and the base was topped with cubes of mozzarella cheese. While waiting for the pizzas to cook, the children participated in a pizza related quiz. There were 27 happy faces as the children carried their pizzas on the metro on the journey back to school.
A big thank you to Pizza Express Newcastle for inviting the children.

Year 3 have been taking part in a Fairtrade Day. They have learned about the importance of Fairtrade to protect farmers and types of products that are bought fairly through the Fairtrade scheme. They have made rocky road using Fairtrade products to sell tomorrow in school. Please bring in your 50p!
Yesterday we enjoyed celebrating our Harvest Festival in assembly. Each class presented information about harvest or sang songs along the theme of harvest and autumn.
Year 2 sang the songs: Under the Harvest Moon, Autumn Leaves and our favourite Big Red Combine Harvester.
As a class they worked together to write their own acrostic poem:
Apples juicy to eat
Under leaves hedgehogs hibernating
The leaves turning into different colours
Understanding all the changes
Many leaves begin to fall
Now it is autumn
