Brewhouse Yard Trip

On Thursday 8th March year 3 ventured into Nottingham City Centre to explore the history of children in our city, visiting Brewhouse Yard and Nottingham Castle, reports Amelia Medley...

"On Thursday we went on a trip to Brewhouse Yard. We got on a bus and sat upstairs. When we got off, we walked up to the castle because 3D were at Brewhouse Yard first. In the castle we looked at the old clothes people used to wear. Then some of us watched a short clip about the castle, when it got burnt down. After that we looked at some fake animals! We then went out to the adventure playground. We had our lunch there and after went on the playground. 
Then we went to Brewhouse Yard where we looked in a children's bedroom from World War II and went in an Anderson Shelter. In the Anderson Shelter, it was quite scary! We also had a look at some of the foods that were available in the war. Finally, we travelled back to school."
Thanks Amelia! A great day was had by all!

Sandwich Snacks - Day Two!

Day two kicked off with Miss Richmond, Miss Dove and Mr. Husbands all modelling their own healthy sandwich snack creations, before year 3 planned the design of their sandwiches.
We then all washed our hands, before entering Miss Dove's room to choose our fillings.

We then went back to 3H to construct our sandwich...
...before it was cut up and ready to eat!
In the afternoon, we had a chance to try our own snack (as well as some of our friends' sandwiches), before evaluating whether our combination of bread and fillings had been a success.

We all had a super two days, but the big question has got to be:

What would be on your sandwich?

Sandwich Snacks in Year 3! - DAY ONE

Joining forces to create the healthiest sandwich snacks seen this side of Sherwood, 3D and 3H came together this morning to begin our new D&T project. We started the 2-day experience by discussing all of the different types of bread and fillings that we thought were healthy. We looked at pictures of some pre-made sandwich snacks and this helped us to understand and name some of the ingredients that fill a healthy sandwich...

After that, we tried lots of different types of bread to see what would be the base for each of our sandwiches.
Finally, we experimented with different fillings! Everyone got the opportunity to try at least one thing that was totally new and many of us found new types of fillings that we really enjoyed. In the pictures below, can you guess which picture was taken after we tried raw garlic? :)


A fantastic day was had by all. Roll on day two!
