• Pizza Making in Year 2

  Fri 05 Jun 2026

  As part of their upcoming Design and Technology unit on pizzas, year 2 took part in an exciting pizza-making workshop. The children worked collaboratively to create the dough before kneading and shaping their own individual pizza bases. They then selected and added their favourite toppings to create their own unique and delicious pizzas. The workshop provided a valuable hands-on experience and gave the children a wonderful opportunity to develop their cooking skills while having lots of fun. Children were able  to develop their food preparation skills, explore ingredients and work collaboratively. Year 2 thoroughly enjoyed this immersive experience and were very proud of the tasty pizzas they created!

  Instead of sitting in our classroom, the children and staff in year 5 headed down to the Museum of London, Docklands today to see what life was like during WW2, specifically the Blitz. It was pretty surreal to stand inside an old warehouse that actually survived the war while we explored recreated war streets.
