Pibrac Market Shopping Trip

At the market we talked to the stall holders (in our best French), looked at all the delicious things for sale (the steaming hot tagines seemed especially tempting) and we bought ingredients for our vegetable soup.

It was very cold (0°C) so when our feet and hands got too cold we retreated to La Sainte Germaine restaurant where we were warmly welcomed with a tasty breakfast. Yum.

Welcome to Pizzalando!

Fractions

We have been thinking about fractions in maths. We used multilink cubes to show halves and quarters. Then we labelled them with post-it notes  (some of us need to make some corrections to our spellings though...).

Planning our restaurant

Our  new IPC topic is called 'We Are What We Eat' and the entry point is to set up a role-play restaurant. We decided that we'd create an Italian restaurant. The teachers wanted us to plan everything and take responsibility. So we talked about the things that need planning and then, in small groups, we brainstormed our ideas. Firstly, we focused on discussing the name for our restaurant; the dishes that would go on the menu and the equipment required. Here we are working in groups:

Pumpkin Soup

We have been enjoying the Helen Cooper book, 'Pumpkin Soup' this week.
Here is the story:

We discussed the parts that we liked, aspects we disliked, things that were puzzling about the story and any connections or patterns we could pick out. Next week we can look forward to some more drama and role-play, writing in role and illustrating our ideas about the story...
Here are two photos from our role-plays where we pretended to bake a cake in a group of three.
