What a fantastic week we've had starting with a slightly wet University day on Tuesday (do have a look at the video!) and ending with some glorious sunshine. We hope the children have a lovely weekend but do hope they all stay safe and drink plenty of water. As the weather is currently forecast to remain nice week it is important the children all have a named sunhat and water bottle please.

On to our brilliant book...

Infant 1- Lillie-Mae has had a fantastic week. On Wednesday all the children put on a show for Mrs Brown and Lillie-Mae was brilliant at organising everyone and telling the story. She did this in a very kind and gentle way and wasn't bossy with her friends. She has also done some careful detailed drawing this week, taking real pride in her work- well done!

Anders- for showing our value of friendship. Anders is always kind and caring with his friends. He tries to involve everyone in games and take care of younger children.

Infant 2- Scarlett for great maths work transferring data from a tally to a bar chart and presenting her work beautifully.

Cameron- for showing great support and encouragement to both infant 1 and 2 during sports day practise.

Writer of the week- Ella S for a great recount of her seaside holiday using lovely handwriting and producing lots more than she ever has before!

Junior 1- Krishan and Rhona- for being fantastic buddies to reception children this afternoon. We did some paired reading between year 3 and reception and they were so sensitive and encouraging to the younger children.

Junior 2- Lukas and Tyler- for both being really good role models to the younger children during university day.

Next Tuesday is sports day at 1.30pm we do hope you can join us for the afternoon!

Junior 2- Ben Bo- A really good diary on their week away at Cober Hill, writing to a high standard as always!

Junior Masterchef Semi Final

Tue 18 Jun 2019

Today we had the fantastic semi final for our Junior Masterchef. Seven fantastic contestants took part so a big well done to Hannah, Jaby, Orla, Oliver S, Erica and Rosy. We had 2 savoury choices- tomato and chorizo pasta and chicken tacos and 5 desserts including tiramisu, mars bar cake, Victoria sponge, treacle sponge pudding and Cranachan with shortbread biscuits.

The semi final was judged by Tom browns head chef Peter and general manager Adam. They were so impressed with the level of skill and delicious tasting food produced by all the children. Alongside cooking a dish of their choice the children also undertook a blind tasting featuring options such as feta cheese, olives, marshmallows and white chocolate.

It was a very tough choice but once the scores for taste, presentation and creativity were added together with their blind tasting scores we are pleased to announce our 5 finalists. I massive congratulations to Oliver, Hannah, Orla, Jaby and Erica. They will face the final at Tom Browns on Tue 9th July at 4pm.
