We hosted a Christmas Craft Club this week at Mary Howard! The children had a great time creating lots of different Christmas crafts and displaying some on our big tree! They also enjoyed a warm cup of hot chocolate to get into the Christmas spirit! 

We made some delicious pizza pockets. We started by folding a plain tortilla into 4 before cutting into the centre of the wrap. Once our base was into quarters, we spread our tomato sauce before adding a different topping onto each corner. Our choice of toppings were; mozzarella, pepperoni, ham,…

Today we made some beautiful butterfly sun catchers. We coloured our templates using coloured crayons. Once this was done we then used cotten buds to cover our picture in baby oil. The oil helps our pictures to become more see through. We then wiped off any excess oil before allowing to dry.

Today we made some delicious sausage rolls. Some of us didn’t like the feel of the raw sausage meat! They tasted great! 
 

Today we combined construction and IT to create our very own miniature movies. We created stories using Lego and built various settings to help set the scene. We then used iMovie to make our films adding music, credits and captions. All our movies will be at a cinema near you soon!

Red Nose Day. Today we made some red nose faces. Using Jammy Dodgers as the face, we added edible eyes and used icing to create a mouth. They tasted great!

World book day quiz! Today was world book day so we put our book knowledge to the test! There were lots of different rounds in the quiz including guess the story, name the character and general knowledge. Congratulations to the winning team!

Milkshake making! Today we got to make a delicious milkshake. We could choose between strawberry, banana or vanilla. To begin with we carefully chopped the fruit before adding milk, vanilla extract and a small scoop of ice cream. We then got to blend it all together by carefully using the blender!…

Crisp Challenge! We were given lots of different crisps to try. Once we had eaten them, we had to guess what flavour they were. Some were easier than others. None of us could guess Worcestershire sauce.

Chopstick Challenge. Today we were challenged to pick up and eat various different foods using only chopsticks. Pieces of apple, prawn crackers and marshmallows weren’t too difficult to pick up however we did struggle with the jelly beans, fruit pastels and noodles!

In Wraparound today we were set the challenge of moving a ping pong ball from one table to another using only Lego. Our contraption had to be at least 60cm long and we weren’t allowed to touch the ball once it had been placed on the Lego. Well done to both teams who managed to complete the task…
