• Egyptian Food Tasting

  Tue 31 Jan 2023 Mrs White

  This afternoon, Year Four have been cooking and tasting Egyptian food linked to their topic on Ancient Egypt. As part of the topic, they learnt about farming by the River Nile, they then worked in groups to produce flatbread, hummus, salata baladi (salad of the land) and salalet zabadee (an Egyptian version of tzatziki).

  The children tasted everything that was made and rated each out of ten. The flatbread and zabadee were voted the favourites overall.

  

• Our Year 1 Artists

• Worship with Reverend Wood

  Fri 27 Jan 2023 Mrs White

  We always enjoy our Friday worship with Reverend Wood!

  This week we reflected on when Jesus fasted in the wilderness for 40 days. Learning about Jesus’s fast can teach us a lot about him, about the importance of time alone with God, and about what we can learn when we step away from physical comfort and embrace difficulty for a period of time.
