Thank you to all the special grown ups who attended our Mother's Day Craft Morning! 💗 It was a fantastic opportunity to create dream catchers and spend some quality time with your wonderful children. #DTatWelbeck
The year 5 children are learning to crochet at ECSA conference in the arts department. #EnrichmentatWelbeck #ScienceatWelbeck #DTatWelbeck
Year 4/3 designed and made their own chocolate bar, thinking carefully about their choice of toppings and the reasons why. They then evaluated their finished product and thought about whether they would change anything and the reasons why. #DTatWelbeck
Next, it was time for Year 4/3 to design and make their own boxes for their chocolate bars using existing packaging as inspiration! #DTatWelbeck
To begin our LKS2 Experience day, Year 4/3 evaluated existing chocolate bars and products, scoring their appearance and taste. We decided what we liked about each product and what we might change when we create our own chocolate bars. #DTatWelbeck
For Chocolate Experience Day, Year 3 got to design, make & evaluate their own chocolate bars. They tasted a variety of products on the market, chose their own unique toppings, moulded their bars, created appealing packaging and finally discussed what they’d do differently next time. #DTatWelbeck
Year 3 are now ‘Climate Champions’! In our final session with Green Meadows, we learned about the effect of food waste and how to take step to reduce it. We put this into practise by mixing ingredients that would’ve otherwise gone to waste to make banana bread. 🍌 🍞 #GeographyatWelbeck #DTatWelbeck
Year 2 have been practicing their Design Technology skills again this week. They made some wonderful Arctic whales and narwhals with tusks and blow holes! #DTatWelbeck
A flock of Arctic Terns has arrived in the year 2 classroom!
Great decorating, cutting and folding skills to make these beautiful birds. Well done year 2! #DTatWelbeck
As part of Christmas craft day, the children enjoyed making chocolate crispy cakes. We loved making them but our favourite part was evaluating our products—otherwise known as the taste test! 👅 Thumbs up all around!

The children are enjoying their first activity for Christmas Craft Day: designing baubles
#DTatWelbeck 🎄
Year 3 finished off their electricity topic by learning about how switches work within a circuit. We were then challenged to design and make our own working switch using cardboard, split pins and paper clips. Finally, we evaluated our products.

Y2K have been busy making birdfeeders ready for the cold winter months ahead. We discussed the importance of looking after our wildlife and used a variety of skills to design and make them. #ScienceatWelbeck #DTatWelbeck
Our star bakers in F2C followed a recipe and measured the ingredients to bake tasty ‘Gruffalo Flapjack’ ⭐️🧑🍳 #DTatWelbeck

As part of our Africa Experience Day, LKS2 cooked vegetable jollof rice using fresh ingredients harvested from our garden. First we peeled and chopped our veg carefully. 🔪🫑🥕 Then we stirred the ingredients together and left to simmer, seasoning to add some spice! 🌶️

Finally it's time to eat! It was very, very tasty! Everyone ate it. Most came back for seconds and some even had a third helping! Mr Cobb turned up just at the right time! #DTatWelbeck
Year 2 decided to make a Saag Aloo. After washing the veg, we started chopping potatoes, slicing onions and crushing garlic. #DTatWelbeck
It's Harvest time again! Year 2 have been at the allotment digging up potatoes, picking spinach and pulling up garlic and onions. #DTatWelbeck
Yummy yummy! F2 spent the afternoon making apple crumble. We even used apples we picked from our very own forest garden! We chopped, rubbed, sprinkled and cooked up delicious treat! 🍎 #DTatWelbeck
In Art today, Year 5 created silhouettes of themselves, just like people did in Victorian times. They had to be precise so each silhouette was recognisable as them! #ArtatWelbeck #DTatWelbeck
Year 2 harvested a wheelbarrow full of potatoes peas and onions today! Tomorrow we'll cook it all up into something delicious! #ScienceatWelbeck #DTatWelbeck
…Then we prepared the pizza bases and sprinkled the ingredients on top. Finally we put them in the oven to cook and shared them with our friends. It was a big thumbs up from us 👍🍕🍟😋 #EYFSatWelbeck #DTatWelbeck
