This week our new food to try was rye bread.
Most children enjoyed it and some came back for another piece.
Well done to Molly who was the winner of the Alwinton Border Shepherds Show Challenge Shield for the most outstanding exhibit holding a first prize for her picture and writing.
On the other side of the stand we promoted our climate change work and detailed how our children secured a bid with the Trust Dragons Den of £706. They are going to use this to help set up a littler picking group, buy bird feeders, nest boxes and a camera to see what wildlife we have on our school grounds.
There was also a large piece of artwork showing the positive and negative things we are doing to our planet.
Finally a section on the Victorian day held at Kidlandlee and the charcoal drawings they produced, along with photographs showing the wonderful day they had there.
This week end was Alwinton Show and the children all entered their work done in school.
We also had a stand promoting our wonderful school and we had a lot of positive feedback.
On this side of the stand we advertised the school and all about the “Rock Topic” the children have been doing and some information about their recent trip to Alnham to look at the Iron Age Hillfort site at Castle Hill.
This week our food challenge was sardines.
Quite a few of the children had tried these before.
They enjoyed learning about them and how they got their name.

Once a year, Berlin’s world famous sights and monuments in the city centre become the canvas for spectacular light and video projections during the Festival of Lights and takes place in September to October in Berlin, Germany.
Today in celebration of this Mrs Rogers produced a German based meal of Bratwurst Sausages, potatoes and red cabbage followed by Streuselkucgen.
The children also learned some fun facts about Germany.
Our first food challenge of the Autumn term was blackberries. Most of the children really enjoyed them and learnt some interesting facts about them.
