This week in Sunshine class we have been learning all about England. 

We have been focussing on London. 

"London is the capital of England" (Ellie)

We have been learning about different landmarks in London. We went on a tour around London with Barnaby Bear. 

We found out all about the Queen and where she lives in London.

 "The Queen lives in a palace." (Millie)

"It is called Buckingham Palace." (Dylan)

 

On Wednesday we had a very exciting day. It started when we got on a mini bus and travelled to Frankie and Benny's at Deepdale Retail Park.

When we got there we were greeted by a nice lady called Alarna. She told us what we were going to be doing while we were there. 

We split into two groups.

"First we made chef hats" (Oscar)

"First we made cocktails to drink." (Kaidon)

Then the two groups swapped over. After we had both done the activities it was time to do something else.

Alarna told us that we were going to be making our own pizza. We split into two groups again.

The first group started their pizzas and the second got a Frankie and Benny's activity pack.

First of all we had to get a pizza base and roll the pizza docker across it three times. Then we had to put pizza sauce on the pizza and spread it around.Next we had to put some cheese on our pizza. Then we had to choose what toppings we wanted to use. We could choose from; ham, bacon, chicken, pepperoni, mushrooms, sweetcorn, peppers or pineapple. When we had chosen our toppings Alarna took our pizza to the very hot pizza oven. It was time for our pizza to cook.

When our pizza was ready, Alarna brought it to the table and we got to eat it.

"My pizza was soooooo good.It had pepperoni on it." (Conner)

"My pizza tasted nice. (Sophia)

We are not sure who enjoyed the trip to Frankie and Benny's more the children or the Staff

 

When we got back to school we had another really special treat. On Tuesday with Mrs Bradley we had made some scones ready for a special visitor on Wednesday afternoon.

 

(Can we have a fan fare please?)

 

Do do do do do doooooooooooo 

 

Special Annoucement the Queen will be visiting Pool House School for afternoon tea with Sunshine Class.

 

(Excited Noise)

 

woooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

 

The Queen arrived at 2.30pm and we greeted her by singing a song about London. Then she sat down at our lovely decorated table ready for her afternoon tea. All the children took it in turns to come and have afternoon tea with the Queen and ask her questions about her life in the palace.

 

In maths this week we have been learning about time and we are now really good at recognising o'clock.

On Friday the kitchen staff gave us a very special treat. They knew we had been learning about England and a typical English food is fish and chips. They pretended to be a chip shop and wrapped our food up like a chip shop was.It was very yummy. Thank you to the kitchen staff for going above and beyond.

Well done to our Star of the week - Dylan

Well done to our Merit Cerificate winners-  Aiesha and Bobbi-Jack
