Super Hero Cereal Bars

Year 5 had their DT day today, where they baked their very own Super Hero Cereal Bars!  They got to create their own recipes, design the packaging and make their cereal bars in small groups.  We only got to bake the last batch at the very end of the day, so we are going to taste them all tomorrow and decide which one we like best and why?  Will it be "Titan Bites", "Batman Bars" or another that takes the title?  We will find out tomorrow!

The Great Bitterne Bake Off!

Science week in Year 5 culminated in a Great Bitterne Bake off this afternoon, as we applied all of the skills that we have been learning this week to design and bake our very own bread.  We worked in groups to make our bread with a fantastic team of parent helpers.

We then presented our bread to the Judges - Mary Berry-Rice and Paul Hollywood-Pucket!  They smelt, tasted and felt the bread to decide who would take the crown for the best tasting bread.  It was the "Chocolate Sensation" bread that was the favourite, with it's taste and texture like a lardy cake!  Awards were also given to the best presented and best teamwork.  Well done to everyone - what a fantastic week and thank you SO much the fabulous parent helpers - I hope you got to have a taste!!

Rooks - Iron Man invades Bitterne Manor

This half term, Rooks have been studying The Iron Man by Ted Hughes.  As part of our cross-curricular work, Rooks have spent two days Building Iron Man suits as part of their Design and Technology unit.  As a class, we have learnt how to curve cardboard smoothly and the importance of creating joints to allow someone to move.  Over the two days, we have worked in teams to design our Iron Man suits, followed by our builds.  There has been a lot of cutting, sticking and team work!  As a result, 7 Iron Men and their supporters invaded every class in Bitterne Manor today.  Take a look at some of our photos.
