Yesterday, Thursday 11th June, our Year 6 class travelled to Salisbury Cathedral to take part in the Diocese of Salisbury Academy Trust Leavers' Service. It was a wonderful way to say goodbye to all of the Year 6 classes across our DSAT schools. Thank you to all of the organisers for putting this lovely service together. #growingandlearningtogether #stjohnswey
Year 6 have been busy completing their DT project, making bread. They have been learning to weigh the ingredients carefully, mix them into a dough, knead the bread to help it rise, leave it to prove and bake it. They worked in small groups and flavoured the bread with garlic, cheese, chocolate (but not raisins!) and then tried different techniques to shape the bread into interesting shapes. They made plaits, cats, spiders, swirls, snails and so many more! The classroom had the most wonderful smell yesterday, Monday 8th June, and we had such a great day. We definitely have some budding bakers in this class! #growingandlearningtogether #stjohnswey
