Braces Bread Visit

We had a visitor from Braces Bread this morning. He talked to us about how we make bread. We also made our own bread.

Big Write - poetry

Today in our Big Write we have written poems about Cats. 

We read a number of poems by Grace Nichols earlier in the week. We picked good features of these types of poems.

The features we highlighted were:

Powerful verbs

Making sure each line of the poem makes sense 

Effective imagery

We set these as our success criteria for our own poems.

Here we are writing our Cat poems.

Big Write - Stories from another culture

We have been reading a book called 'Christpe's Story'. The book is about a little boy from Rwanda who is a refugee. He comes to England and tells the children in his class all about his life. 

We have used this story as a stimulus to our writing. Last week we wrote a story opener and tomorrow we will write the ending to our story. 

Here we are making notes for our endings.

Global Gourmet - Making Bread

This week the children have been designing and making bread after tasting a variety of bread from around the world. The children decided whether to make their bread savoury or sweet and had a variety of ingredients to choose from. The children also designed the shape of their bread. We had a lots of interesting designs including hedgehogs, snakes, birds, hearts and even Harry Styles! 

We remembered to use bakers hands to avoid any unwanted germs getting on our hands after we had washed them. 

The children enjoyed getting the their hands in the bowl to bring all of the ingredients together to make the dough. The children kneaded and shaped their dough according to their design, once the bread was cooked it was left to cool. Finally they decorated their bread and then got to have a taste.

The children worked incredibly hard this week both in their national tests and bread making. I am proud of all of you! Well done class 5!
