Rainbow Unit- Autumn Term Week 13

Date: 19th Dec 2024 @ 4:31pm

It’s has been a lovely week for the Rainbow Unit this week as we have had our first school trip. We are so proud of all the children, they coped well with the coach journey and enjoyed exploring all the different areas of the farm. Whilst we were there, some of the children enjoyed watching a magic show with the year 6 play leaders. They all enjoyed playing in the park at the end of the day and some were that exhausted from a day of fun that they fell asleep on the journey home.
This week we have also been continuing with our bucket therapy lessons. It has been lovely to see most of the children engaged during this session and showing their anticipation skills as we have been waiting to see what is next to come out of the bucket! We are also consistently using a communication board during this time when we are using the bubbles.
We will share the photos from our trip to the farm soon, you will be invited into school to see them along with photos of Christmas activities 😊
If your child has come home with any of our school spare uniform over the last few weeks, please could you send it back in to school.
We hope you have a lovely weekend!

Y3 - DT - Gingerbread stained glass biscuits and packaging

Date: 18th Dec 2024 @ 8:38am

This half term's DT project involved us evaluating some stained glass window biscuits. We thought about which designs looked best and then designed our own, choosing the outside shape, inside shape and the colour of sweet in the middle. 

Then we had an afternoon of rolling, cutting and baking.

At the same time, we designed and constructed a package for our biscuit, something that would keep it safe and also make it more appealing to give to someone, we thought about eye catching colours and messages.

Then we packaged up our biscuits ready to take home and gift them!

"I have never rolled dough before, it was a lot harder and I had to keep squishing it and then rolling again to make it soft" - Skylar

"Our biscuits didn't all fit in our boxes because they had got bigger in the oven!" - Emily
