Cupcake Delights!

 in Whole School by

Well, after all that running we deserved a sweet treat challenge, hence our wonderful cupcake entries, everyone different and very gorgeous.

Mrs Mason will again be highlighting her favourites this week and for those who participate in any of our foodie challenges (providing photographic evidence of course), there will be a special treat awaiting for you on your return to school on 8th March.

It isn’t too late to get involved – we have ‘pizza designing’ next week, so get stuck in and be part of this ‘cook and share’ fun!

Pictures for you to drool over are attached…….

Pancake Challenge!

 in Whole School by

Well, everyone certainly got totally involved in the challenge set over the holidays to the extent that we have given our adjudicator a headache trying to determine her very favourites. Does she opt for flipping skills, artistic design, novelty, or just the ones that make mouths water…..we will need to see.

Either way there will be a certificate of achievement for all budding cooks and look out for a new cooking challenge to take us to our return to school very soon.

Photos of genuine scrumminess are included for your delight!

Chinese New Year in EYFS

 in Bowfell / RE / Whole School by

Our children in EYFS enjoyed learning all about Chinese New Year before the half term holiday. We had some amazing creations from fortune cookies to lanterns, to junk model dragons and everything in between! We also learnt how to say ‘hello’ in Chinese, found out about the origin of the Chinese New Year story and had a go at writing our name using the Chinese alphabet.

Running Challenge Smashed!

 in Whole School by

Congratulations to everyone for superb attitude, determination and being prepared to brave the cold, snow and ice in the final week of the official challenge!

Everyone seems to have enjoyed it enormously, there is a wonderful display in the foyer of all your pictures for you to celebrate when you return to school, which we hope is very soon.

This week we had superheroes in the mix, spot them if you can.

Medals are on order for the fabulous ‘Team Levens’ – keep running!
