Summercourt Academy

Yesterday, cooking club iced cakes and decorated biscuits using two different types of icing. We used a piping bag to create pretty patterns. The children took their time decorating the cakes and biscuits and were very proud of their finished cakes.

This week in Class 1, we have been learning all about the butterfly life cycle and how caterpillars grow and change into butterflies. We used different collage techniques to represent this life cycle. 🦋

During our outdoor learning, we had lots of fun using tools including hammers, axes and drills to create our own spinners.

Well done everyone for a fantastic week of learning 😊

Well done to class 4's brilliant award winners from this week!

Class 2: Our highlight this week was a fantastic cooking workshop provided by Aspens, linking perfectly with our D&T learning.
Pupils had a wonderful time tasting a variety of fruits and vegetables, exploring and describing their different textures and flavours. They then chose their own ingredients to create delicious smoothies, with Dean helping them along the way.
Everyone thoroughly enjoyed making—and tasting—their own tasty creations! 🍓🍌🥤

Yesterday, cooking club made a fruit bowl using a Kiwi fruit, Banana, Strawberries, Grapes, Apples, Satsumas, Watermelon and Mango.
Some of the children had not tasted Mango before and they really liked it!
The children carefully used a knife to slice, chop, and peel their fruit before choosing a topping of chocolate sauce, caramel sauce, and a sprinkle of chocolate chips!
