After their visit from the owl man on Tuesday the children in Arts and Crafts club have been making their own owls. This is also linked to the 'Autumn' theme for this half term. As you can see from the pictures the owls look amazing. The children particularly enjoyed using the googly eyes which brought their owls alive!

After School Club:- Yr 3/4

After performing their warm up exercises Mr Portway demonstrated some dribbling and passing techniques. The children then practised these skills in their 'triangle passing drill'. The group were then divided into four teams and two matches where played simultaneously. Mr Portway remarked on how the children had reflected on their performance and how by using their new skills this had helped them to improve their game. 



After School Clubs:- Cookery Yr 5/6

The cookery club are encouraged to be as independent in their work as possible therefore, Mr Borrell has introduced a card system whereby if the card shown on the table is green the children are fine, yellow indicates that they may need some assistance and red that they require urgent assistance. On  the menu this afternoon was Chilli con carne. The chefs began their preparation by gathering their utensils and ingredients. Chopping the onions proved to be a difficult task as a lot of the group suffered from their eyes watering. George asked Mr Borrell if he knew of any ways to prevent this. Although, Mr Borrell had heard of many the strangest was to "stand on one leg whilst you chop". Melisa, Katherine, and Sharna described the aromas in the room as "mouth watering". Sam, Razvan and Kieran agreed that the taste was "delicious" and Molly and Sophie thought the chilli was "tasty".
