Bread Baking 5H!, by Miss Healey
Date: 28th Mar 2025 @ 2:37pm
Year 5 have had a very exciting week this week! They have, over the course of several weeks, designed their own bread for a specific purpose. This week was baking week! The children used a lot of independence to select their own ingredients, weigh them out, knead the dough and shape their designs. The bread came out wonderfully and smelled amazing! While it was still warm from the oven, the children taste-tested their creations (with some very mixed reactions!) I am very proud of their creations and they have all got a piece to take home so I'm sure families will be too!

Yesterday, we visited Tatton Park for an Anglo-Saxon experience day. We were transported back to the Anglo-Saxon times where we met some local village people. They were kind enough to train us on how to live like Anglo-Saxons and defend ourselves against the Vikings! We had lessons on how to create a shield wall, jewellery making to sell at the market, how to make flour from wheat and deer hunting. After all our lessons, we were able to scare away the Vikings.
The trip ended with lots of sleepy Anglo-Saxons on the coach!
