J4 are going on a Picnic

22nd Apr 2021

The pupils in J4 are really enjoying their new class topic 'We're going on a Picnic'! The sunny weather has appeared just in time so we could transport our learning to the lovely outdoors! To support our learning we have been reading 'We're going on a Picnic' by Pat Hutchins. J4 have really enjoyed taking this story with our picnic blankets to read outside. The story has encouraged us to investigate perfect picnic spots in our community and we made a collage of favourite foods we would like to bring on a picnic just like Hen, Duck and Goose decided in the story!

In Cookery we planned and sequenced the steps to sandwich making by made our own picnic sandwiches- some made jam, some had ham and some pupils even tried salad sandwiches. We also enjoyed 'churning' butter in a jam jar. This required only double cream as our ingredient but a lot of muscle power to shake the cream until it turned from liquid to a solid-we then had a look, smell, touch and some pupils had at taste on bread! It was yummy but our arm muscles were sore after!!

Take a peek at our pictures below and stay tuned for more fun topic activities to follow in the coming weeks!
