All this week, we have been bringing in donations for the food bank at Thongsbridge. We collected everything that had been donated, from all classes in school, in our hall. Wow! We couldn't believe how much had been brought in and cannot thank everyone enough for their kindness and generosity!
On Wednesday, we took part in NFU Education's Harvest Live! We looked at how to make a delicious Palak Paneer dish. We learnt how to grow onions, spinach and coriander, along with understand which part of the plant they come from and how to prepare them safely. We then went on a quest to discover where the milk we needed to make the paneer cheese came from, meeting the robots who do the milking and feeding the calves on Farmer Elaine's diary farm.
This week in Science we have been asking the question 'Does the wind change direction?'. We looked at the Beaufort Scale, acted out some different winds and then had a trip outside to see how we could tell what direction the wind was blowing in. This is all part of our learning about Autumn and Winter and being able to observe changes in the seasons and describe weather!
I hope you warm up warm this weekend!
