Year 5
24th October
This week has been a packed week in Year 5. On Monday we made seasonal vegetable pasties from scratch. First, we made the pastry by measuring out the right amount of ingredients and followed the instructions to make our pastry. Next, we picked the vegetables we wanted for our filling and put them on our rolled out pastry. Once we had all the filling we wanted, we folded the pastry over and secured it by pressing down the edges with a fork. Once they were cooked and cooled, we took them home ready to taste test them.
This week we have also been participating in bikeability. Each day, the children have been going out with two instructors on their bikes around the village. It has been a really enjoyable experience for the children.
October - Design and Technology
Today in year 5 for Design and technology we were taste testing different seasonal vegetables. We were trying them to decide what vegetables we would like to mix with potato and onion to fill our pasties. We tried swede, parsnip, carrot, butternut squash, sweetcorn and cabbage. Some of the vegetables we discovered we liked and some… we didn’t like. After trying all the vegetables we looked thought the notes we made and chose up to three vegetables to use as out pasty filling.
Getting off to a good start
Year 5 have had a great start to the year. We had an amazing trip to PGL and we have started to learn lots of new things. We have been learning how light helps us see in Science, writing poetry that contains metaphors and similes in English. We have also been learning all about healthy seasonal food ready to make our seasonal vegetable pasties in Design and Technology.
