World War 2 Rationing Workshop
The multi-talented Mr Borrell joined Year 3 today to show them first hand the culinary 'compromises' that had to made in Britain due to rationing. First the children were shown a typical weekly ration, then it was time to get hands-on. Happy meals and Haribo were very much off the menu and in their stead, our travellers to the 1940s enjoyed the delights of vegetable soup, spam fritters and corned beef hash!

Author Visit
The children of year 3 and 4 were extremely lucky this morning as they had the opportunity to meet Chris Powl, a famous children's author and a friend of Roald Dahl. He shared with them the 4 secrets of how to be a successful writer which the children thoroughly enjoyed hearing. Chris has inspired them to now use their own imaginations to write their own stories, we look forward to reading them!

Apprentice Project
Today, Miss Rooney set Year 3 the task to design and advertise a new toy.
See Mr Drakes school blog to find out who the winners were!
The budding junior apprentices, started by conducting some market research to find out what sort of toys people liked.
Once they had completed to research they put their ideas together to design their toy.
Displaying their fabulous reciprocity skills the children split themselves to work on the different aspects of advertising. Some children worked on posters, while others write jingles.
