Challenge Week 2023
Challenge week……was certainly a challenge!
The children were faced with many fun, exhilarating tasks in challenge week and by the end of Friday afternoon, we were all ready for a half term holiday!
The week started with an assembly which set a READY STEADY COOK challenge for each class. Some classes had lots of vegetables, others had fruits whilst some of the older classes had a real mixed bag of ingredients! As the children got to work, it was clear to see that we had a very competitive group of chefs amongst the teaching staff. The final pieces were:
- Delicious strawberry pancakes in Nursery
- Year 1’s fruit sundae cup
- A delightful fruity cheesecake in Year 2
- Mexican rice topped with cheese from our Year 3 class
- Year 4 stirred up an amazing stir fry
- In Year 5 there was a number of dishes including some quesadillas.
- Our Year 6 children ended up with a spicy 3 course meal!
All the children were so proud of their finished dishes and our governor Mrs Smith decided Year 5 were the worthy winners of the prize for best dish!
The rest of the week involved a walk to Furzton Lake for some of our classes so they could carry out a Spring scavenger hunt and enjoy a picnic lunch. Also a challenge to build the largest tower in class and many word riddles and puzzles in our English lessons. As a school we even managed to run the equivalent of over 10 marathons with the number of laps we managed to complete around our school field.
A very tiring but fun week for the children!
