• 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!

  Year 1 had a wonderful visit to Manor Park Library this week. The children received a very warm welcome from the library staff and were excited to learn all about this year's Summer Reading Challenge.

  The challenge is even more exciting because the school with the highest number of children taking part and reading books will be awarded a special trophy!

  Year 1 listened carefully to the presentation and was inspired to get involved. They are looking forward to visiting the library, choosing lots of books and completing the challenge over the summer holidays.

  We wish all of our year 1 children happy reading and look forward to hearing about the fantastic books they discover!

  On Monday afternoon, the year 2 children visited Manor Park Library to take part in the launch of this year's Summer Reading Challenge. The Summer Reading Challenge is a nationwide initiative that encourages children to continue reading throughout the summer holidays by borrowing and reading books from their local library. During the 45-minute session, library staff introduced the challenge, explained how the children could take part, and provided each child with a collector folder. Children who brought their library cards were also able to borrow books. Both year 2 classes attended the visit together and were excited to begin the challenge.
