Viking Boat
In Spring 2, children have participated in a class-scale project to build a large Viking ship! They decided on their own success criteria and organised themselves into teams in order to complete this challenge, thinking carefully about the time scale involved. This has been a difficult project for the children, however they have completed it with patience, technique and fervour!
They can now enjoy their work as they use it as a quiet reading space within the classroom and they look very pleased with the outcome - well done Year 4!!

Experimenting with Dough!
As part of the process for designing and making bread, children measured the ingredients and made salt dough. They then practised kneading and experimented with different shapes. Here's what happened!
Evaluating Existing Products

As part of our unit, we have studied the history of Warburtons and have started to examine the products currently on the market. Children tried four types of bread: white, brown, seeded and mediterranean, with mixed results! Here's how we got on...
