Ella clearly worked hard on her food project yesterday and created this wonderful animal cafe that she has called Pawtastic Delights! I love the menu as it has Human food and Doggie food!

Harrison’s Fire Pit Feasting
Harrison really embraced the food theme this week – making his own Pet Cafe menu and a lovely Italian Food project. He then took the the outdoors, camping out and cooking up an amazing feast in the fire pit.
Rabbits – home learning for Friday 22nd May
Good morning Rabbits and welcome to the end of the week and the half term!
I know it is a bit strange to think we are on half term next week – but we all need a holiday from things that we are doing – even if we are mostly home and not going to school or work. Your parents probably need half term break too!
Spellings: So for today, I have a spelling test for you to do – select the correct spelling for each of the words and then check with the original list please. Please open the Spellings page.
English: BBC Bitesize have a nice lesson for you.
Maths: I have a maths test for you – nothing too awful but it should be good to test your knowledge.
Maths Assessment Year 2 Fractions
Reading: I have this comprehension task for you to do – read through and answer the questions. Comprehension Task
Project: it is the last day of your food project and I have loved seeing the different things that you have all been doing this week. Well done all of you for taking so much care with your work.
So I have have included a short clip from a wonderful film called “Cloudy With Meatballs” my children watched this so many times when they were little. Your job is to do exactly what the hero does in the story – to create a food machine that can make your favourite foods by simply pressing buttons. I would love you to design this on paper and put in the various elements that you would need such as rolling pins if you are making pastry or flat bread – blenders if you are mixing herbs or fruits – some way of picking herbs and spices to make your food taste good. The design can be as mad as you like – but you must also call it something!
Your machine has to be able to make a range of foods and you need to include the list on your design.
I really hope that you have fun with this project and you are able to use your creative brains to come up with some amazing things.
Have a super-duper half term everyone. Have fun at home and I look forward to being in touch with you all in June.
Mrs Cooke

Rabbits – home learning for Thursday 21st May
Good Morning Rabbits
I got the job of shopping for my family yesterday, and I was so excited to be out – but also to see the huge range of food that I can buy that comes from around the world. The project today will be thinking about our multi-cultural food. Please check over your spellings as I will pop a test on the page tomorrow.
Brainteaser: I have put in a wordsearch for you this morning – I think you all enjoy doing these. Food Wordsearch
Maths: I have included the maths tasks from white rose below.
Additionally, I would like you to do some practical maths – in order to price your food menus, it is useful to add up costs then divide them between the number of people who are eating. So … I would like you to work out how much you should charge for a portion of cake – please look at the attached task and see how well you can use your knowledge of fractions to solve the puzzles. Good luck! Cake Brain Teasers
English: Please access the BBC Bitesize for today’s lesson.
PSHE: Mrs Viner has posted a lovely note to us all about kindness. For today, can you read her post and do some things linked to the idea of being kind?
Project: As I said at the start, I was amazed at the different foods available from all around the world – and just in my local supermarket! There was a whole section of Greek food with amazing sesame breadsticks, stuffed vine leaves and ice-creams. I saw Mexican Potatas Bravas and Lime and lemon cake, I also found multi-coloured pasta from Italy, Romanian Meat Balls, German Sausage and pickled cabbage and Turkish soft cheese. So for today – you are going to select a country from the list below and do a poster for me of their most famous food and drink items. I would love to see pictures that you have drawn and also writing that explains the type of foods they have.
So here are my suggested countries – but if you know others – please do your own choice: My favourite food from Australia would have to be Fairy Bread – very easy to make – but I am not sure I would want to try Erwtensoep snert – which is from Holland!

Well Being Wednesday – from Mrs Viner
Well-being Wednesday
Good Morning 👋 all and what a lovely day it is! ☀️ The sun always makes me feel happy!
This week is Mental Health Awareness Week and the topic this year is Kindness.
Over the last few months I have not only seen many acts of kindness in the news (Captain Tom) and the community, I to have tried to play my part by being kind to others, by helping get shopping to some elderly people in our village and telephoning relatives who are on their own.
The added benefit of helping others is that it is good for our own mental health and wellbeing.
It would be lovely if this week, you could share with me any acts of kindness that you have shown someone, or that have been done to you.
Just remember giving someone a smile 😁 or a wave 👋 could really make their day!
Take care and stay safe,
Mrs Viner 😃
Rabbits – Home Learning for 20th May
Good Morning Rabbits and I hope you are going to have some fun with this learning today. I have loved seeing the work that you have done already on your maths and making some lovely restaurants and eateries. Well done.
Spelling: Can you check in the spelling page and copy out your spellings as usual – these are all words relating to food and cookery.
Reading: I have found a short story for you to read today – can you also go onto your own Reading Eggs to keep up with your reading tasks and as it is such a lovely day – why not take out some reading at lunch time – a book, comic, cook book etc and enjoy the weather.
English: BBC Bitesize is offering today’s lesson please log on
Maths: I have copied out the maths tasks for today from Whiterose:
Project: continuing with food (one of my favourite topics!) Here is a nice activity to make for the butterflies – it is a bar for butterflies – have a look at the instructions and see if you can find suitable equipment to make the bar. Make a Butterfly Bar alternatively, there is another one to make for birds. apple_bird_feeder_tcm9-405020 if you do not have the necessary equipment.
Please take a few minutes to watch this youtube clip about the history of CHEESE. (some of it can be a bit odd – but it is a fun cartoon)
Cheese has been made for many thousands of years – and this shows how it began almost by accident. So for today’s topic activity I would like you to create a cheesy character – it might be a Strong Cheddar – who is a super-hero and saves onions from being eaten – or a Soft Brie that is hopeless at doing anything as it is runny all the time. Create your cheese character – give them a name – and then I would like a short story about this cheesy being. Imagine the adventure or journey a cheese might have? You can set your story in a kitchen to begin with – but it could go beyond that. Please have some fun and use that wild imagination of yours!
Rabbits – Home Learning for 19th May
Good Morning Rabbits
I hope you had fun thinking about food yesterday!
English: Please do the bitesize lesson today. www.bbc.bitesize/homelearning
Maths: Here are the links for the maths lessons for today.
Reading: I have selected another set of reading comprehensions related to food – these are for you to practice your comprehension and reading skills. Viking Food and Cooking Questions Viking Food and Cooking
Project: To continue our project today I am going to get you to design a menu for your own restaurant. This should be simple enough – except … I need you to write out a perfectly beautiful menu with your very best handwriting. You need to include starters or small portions of food, a main course and some puddings or dessert. Ideally, you will write about 4 or 5 items for each. I have included some menu blanks to use – or you can design your very own. This is a handwriting task to begin with.
Design: I now want you to get thinking about pasta. Pasta is an Italian food made from flour, eggs and water (and a bit of salt) but they make it into amazing shapes. I would like you to look at this page of different pastas and then design your own shape. This needs to be something that is personal to you – for example – I like Angels and Eagles so I might make wing-shaped pasta. You could think about your favourite things and design the shape then create a picture of the pasta (so you need to repeat the design several times). If you were able – you could even try to make your own pasta – recipe and method is included.
I would like you to do a little bit of maths – imagine that you are preparing a plate full of your fabulous pasta for yourself and your family – how many of the pieces would you need? You need to work out how large they are – and then work out how many would fit onto a plate. If you draw around a plate – then draw your pasta shape and cut it out, then work out roughly how many times it will fit on the plate.
Rabbits Home Learning for 18th May
Good Morning Rabbits. I hope you all had a lovely weekend. I spent time in my garden doing some reading and I was lucky enough to get out and about on some very nice walks in the sunshine. I hope you all had some fun too.
I have a new project idea for you this week – more about that later.
English: The www.bbc.bitesize/homelearning is the place to be for their excellent lessons. Please log in today.
Maths: I have put up the White Rose maths for each year group below. I have also included the answers – but don’t cheat! Each year group has a page showing video links to explain the tasks. These are for the whole week of lessons.
Year 2 Lesson-1-Multiplication-sentences-using-the-x-symbol-2019
Year 3 Lesson-1-Answers-Unit-and-non-unit-fractions-2019
Year 3 Lesson-1-Unit-and-non-unit-fractions-2019
Project: This week’s project is going to be about food. We will be looking at where you eat, what you eat, what you can cook, how we present and package food and how restaurants work.
Food Glorious Food: this is a famous song from the musical Oliver but it is used in this lovely clip from Ice Age 2 – have a little look at the video and listen carefully to the words.
Your first task is to think about alliteration – which is using the same sound at the start of different words. Blue Bucket, Frilly Fairy – etc. I would like you to think about the foods I have listed below and add a word that describes it – but uses the same starting letter (or sound – for example c and k make the same sound)
cheese apples bananas grapes milk pomegranate cabbage sausages burgers spaghetti broccoli yoghurt
See how you get on!
Reading: The attached files have 3 levels of reading – * ** and *** for you to select. They are all about Fairtrade – Reading Activities Y 2 and 3
Project: I would like you to plan a design for your own place to eat – you might like to brainstorm all the places that you currently eat – at home, in the garden (picnics and bar-b-q’s) or maybe you get take-away food. We also eat in odd places such as on boats, in caravans, in our school hall. If you can remember when we were all able to go to restaurants and cafes, you could think about designing your own wonderful eating place. You need to sort the following categories:
- Type of food you will sell
- Type of people (or animals) that will eat at your eatery
- Type of seating they will need – be adventurous!
- Type of plates, cutlery or other things from which they can eat
- What you will call your eatery.
You could use a whole piece of paper for your brainstorming, you could add cut out pictures of things that inspire you – or you can draw your ideas – gather as much information as you can to continue this later in the week.
You can design this however you wish – but remember that during the week we will be building on this and will be looking at making menus, designing a logo and packaging and making unique dishes.
I have added a few pictures from pintrest that might help with your inspiration if you need it.
