Rock Uk Recipe Poem

You will need:

1 cup of courage and excitement

A sprinkle of teamwork

A large dash of determination

175g of nervousness

A dollop of whipped trust or sticky self confidence

2 x spoonful of fun

2-4 cups of friendship

A teaspoon of fear

200g of good times.

Method

First, you must pour the courage and excitement into a small mixing bowl and find a seat on the bus. On the way, add one spoonful of fun and mix carefully. Sieve in the nervousness while mixing. When you arrive, add a bit of fear and let it sit for five minutes until firm, while you explore. When ready, knead the dough while sprinkling in the remaining fun as you unpack, in your room. Add the required amount of fear for your first challenge. In a separate bowl, mix together your trust and friendship and evenly brush the mixture over your remaining activities. Make sure you add the teamwork so that you and your friends stick together. When you reach the hardest challenge, thoroughly stir in the determination. Finally, get back on the bus and, as you leave the site, sprinkle on the good times. Let it bake until you lose sight of Rock Uk, and voila! Your residential is done!

What a great first day! It has been lovely getting to know the children and seeing them in the full flow of a busy school day! We started a short unit on Superheroes and the genre of Graphic Novels. As a part of this unit, the children enjoyed designing their own superheroes to "Save the day!" This website proved very popular with the children so I thought i'd share it with you so the children can continue to enjoy it at home.

Start of a new (academic) year!

I am so excited to start my time at Trowell C of E and I can't wait to get started with some exciting topics and lessons. I hope that everyone has enjoyed the Summer Holidays and has had a well earned break so you are all ready to hit the ground running in year 6!

I wanted to write to you to give you some extra information about the way year 6 will work and also to let you know what we will be covering in school this term.

Our curriculum this term will focus around WW2. We will be learning about the history of the war, the impact this war had on the people of Europe and how the war was “fought” at home. This will be a very cross curricular unit which will spread over Literacy, Science, D.T and Art.
