Eagle Owls

WB 26 06 2023

We could not have been prouder of the Eagle Owl children this week – they took part in our annual Bake-Off competition. Pupils can work on their own or in a pair and then decide if they want to make sweet or savoury. They they research everything from the oven temperature needed to how long it will need and what ingredients to get. The whole operation is headed by our wonderful TAs Mrs Awbery and Mrs Graves, who collect all the timings to see which group’s food could go in the oven at the same time, and who will need something alternative. Considering we only have 2 ovens in our tiny kitchen, to create over 20 different dishes in a morning is incredibly impressive and done with military precision!! We could not do this without Mrs Bushell who is the expert at teaching them, and also without the support of parents who have supplied the ingredients for this competition.

This year it was judged by one of our Governors, our school secretary and Mrs Hamilton, who was making a (lucky) surprise visit to say hello. They were banned from the hall and so the judging was done completely on TASTE, PRESENTATION and TECHNICAL DIFFICULTY.

What a range we had! From Fish and Chips and Burgers, to Sushi and Curry with home made flatbread among others; in the sweet category we had a Dessert Pizza, Brookies (cookies and brownies combined!), Nana’s Apple Pie and wonderful cupcakes – again among others! I hope you agree – this is indeed a fantastic opportunity to be creative with cooking and also to see how independent our children can be. It really was wonderful – well done to EVERYONE involved. It was so hard to pick winners and so there were several in each place!!

Winning Dish: Strawberry Shortcake – Thea

Equal Second place went to Lily and Indi with their light and fluffy Victoria Sponge Cake and to Josh for his Sushi.

Third place went to Sophie and Benji for some delicious Chocolate Mousse and biscuits.

Equal Fourth place went to Seth for his French Apple Tart  and to William and Seb for their Burger and Chips.

Equal fifth place was awarded to Stanley and Sam for Nana’s Apple Pie, and to Josef for his Fish and Chips.

What a day!! Well done to everyone. Prizes ranged from Bake-Off merchandise (donating money to Stand Up to Cancer) and delicious cook books, so winners all round.

We seemed to have less time this year to put together our dance for the Dance Show. However the Eagle Owls, as always, put their all into the rehearsals and completed a fab dance for the day. We tried to encourage Eurovision-type outfits, fun and bright, and even had a Year 6 wear a blue wig backwards on his face – very Eurovision!! It was a great day and we want to say well done to them all. To perform on stage to an audience of more than 300 is rather nerve wracking and they did splendidly.

Photos are available to buy via the SSP website of the performance. Here is a sample of the proofs.

Eagle Owls had an excursion this week, to West Runton Beach, for a some scientific and geographic investigations. We had timed it well this time for a low tide and the pupils had a fascinating time exploring all living things in the rock pools. They were especially looking for crabs and found many! They also looked at the erosion along the cliffs and found examples of pollution washed up on the beach. It was a glorious sunshine and we all had a great day.

The first half of the summer term is done! We got to enjoy a range of activities this week, many of them learning outside the classroom. Have a lovely half term break everyone!

Two teams from Eagle Owls represented the school in a very sunny Cricket Tournament at Eaton Park. The Year 5 mixed Team won their side of the competition – well done!

Eagle Owls enjoyed a morning of canoeing at Whitlingham. They all went on the water which was great! They even played games and had to stand up in the canoes, with one group allowed to jump in the water! A fun outdoor and adventurous activity day that is part of our PE curriculum.

We enjoyed the sun that eventually came out and had a run around before we had to go back to school.

Following the Bank Holiday Monday to celebrate the coronation of King Charles III our Y6 had to sit their SAT tests. We are so very proud of each and every one of our Year 6 pupils and hope they know this testing week is just a tiny part of what we have all done together. You are brilliant: You’ve got this!

Pupils were excited about the upcoming King Charles III coronation and on Friday the whole school had a variety of activities around the event and then we all got together in the hall and celebrated with a cupcake and drink followed by some colouring.

This week in Eagle Owls the pupils are working towards making their own mosaic tile patterns and are researching different mosaics and different textures for them.

They are also looking at plants in Science and have dissected a flower to label and learn about all the features of a plant.
