As a 'Healthy School' we like to take every opportunity, both within and beyond the curriculum to reinforce our message of 'Healthy Eating - Healthy Living'. Today is the turn of our Year 5 Food Technologists as they 'design and bake' their own individual breads!!Hummm!! Smell those loaves!!
Our PTFA is a very busy group of parents who always try to provide our pupils with exciting fund-raising events - our annual Mother's Day Gift Sale is their latest offering!! Always massively popular with our pupils, it gives them the chance to purchase quality gifts at knock-down prices!! Thank you to our PTFA mums who ran the day and good luck with your super gifts on Sunday children!!
Sandwiches have never been so interesting and ..... tasty!! In Year 3 we have been studying the food industry and healthy sandwiches. Our research led us to buying lots of different sandwiches with different fillings and in different types of packaging. We tasted everything - even those sandwiches with fillings which looked revolting!!! They were all really tasty!! Having completed our Design Technology booklet on 'Designing and Making a Sandwich' it was time to make our own production line and produce our own sandwiches for eating. Our ingredients were tasty - different types of bread, spreads and fillings!! Listen to our pupil�s comments � they really enjoyed their sandwich unit!!
A few weeks ago our pupils in Year 5 baked bread in Food Technology. They enjoyed it so much that they decided to write, for homework, funny stories involving bread, dough, breadcrumbs, crusts, etc. The outcome was amazing, with the result that several funny stories were linked together to create a crazy bread radio news bulletin!! The character of Dr. Dark became the central figure for the whole piece, and after scripting, rehearsing, recording and editing, the children decided that they would like to broadcast their 'newsflash' on Wednesday 1st April, to the whole school - 'April Fool's Day' - TODAY!! Mr. McGaw set the scene and created the 'serious' backdrop for a series of 'bread incidents' to take place!! Our audience of 400+ children sighed with relief when they realised it was just a funny game by Year 5. The broadcast is really well performed by our 10 pupil radio actors and Miss Hills!! Enjoy!!
Exactly one year ago today our Year 6 children were sitting their final SAT's test paper in the morning before jetting off to China on an 8 day performance tour to our partner school in Beijing - AnZhen No.1 Primary School!! Today only 5 of the 12 members of the cast of 'The Statue of the Ancient Hero' are still pupils at Peterbrook - they were in Year 5 then - Demia, Charlotte, Megan, Saffron and Tyler. Listen as we recall our magical moments from the visit - the experience changed them forever. Enjoy!!
We're back for a new school year and have decided to get our year rolling by singing our favourite song for you!! Let's enjoy singing together our 'Peterbrook School Song'!!
