Our trip to Pizza Express was so much fun and lots of learning was involved. We had to wait patiently for everyone to get their turn, we had to listen to lots of instructions and answer lots of questions about where our ingredients came from. We had to make our pizza dough really big with our fingers and not make any holes. The best bit was eating it all up when we walked back to school. Our teachers were very proud of us for our great behaviour on the day!!

Our story this week has been the three little pigs. We made some houses for them, investigated different materials. We also made some pink pig biscuits, trying to make them look like a piggie face..

In science we had a look inside our pumpkin from Halloween, and talked about why it had lasted so long. We used lots of different vocabulary to show what we were seeing, smelling and cutting. It was good fun.
