Pancake Making in Science Week- We weighed out and measured the ingredients carefully then all helped to mix them together to make a smooth batter. The adults cooked the pancakes but we talked about what changes we could see happening and described the smell. We then chose different toppings and tasted the pancakes. They were really yummy! 
It was Safer Internet Day on Tuesday, the children were informed on how to stay safe online. We talked about different scenarios using characters from Traditional Tales
This week we have learnt the story of The Three Billy Goats Gruff. The children have been so enthusiastic about the story and have engaged in acting it out as a group. The troll went into school over night and stole the bridge! The children created new bridges for the goats to cross the river and made wanted posters to find the troll and to retrieve the bridge.
We found out about the first man to walk on the moon more than 50 years ago.
