In this block, pupils looked to different countries to see what can be learnt from different cultures. The recipes chosen showcase how certain foods can contribute to good health and wellbeing. We made Summer rolls, stir-fry and Bombay potatoes.
During the past 50 years, the British diet has not changed a great deal, but our society has. People’s lives – particularly in relation to their work – are much more sedentary than before and so the British diet, which is traditionally high in carbohydrates and animal fats, is no longer as suitable as it once was. Currently, most wealthy countries around the world are suffering from an obesity crisis. This is not the case in West African and some Asian countries. This block looks to different countries for ideas on how we might adapt our diets and how we can use food as a medicine, not just fuel. Ingredients like turmeric, ginger, spices and fresh herbs have been used for their medicinal purposes for centuries..

Dale Chihuly is an American glass sculpture. The children have created 3d pieces of art inspired by Dale Chihuly’s glass work. They used papier-mâché with tissue paper and pva glue. A selection of bowls were used for armatures. They used coffee filters and water based markers and acetate sheets moulded using a hot air gun. The results were fabulous.

In design and Technology we have been investigating gears.
We learnt about driven gears which is a gear wheel that causes other gears in a gear train to rotate.
We discovered that if we turn a gear clockwise the adjacent gear will move in the opposite direction.
We used our knowledge of gears to design a windmill powered by gears.
