Nurture group Bake-Off

What a wonderful idea and what wonderfully tasty results!

The children of Nurture Group were challenged this week to put their skills together in a special event. They were faced with randomly selecting and following instructions for making a range of delicious foods. Each pair had a recipe to follow and equipment to choose from: then they were judged as to their communication and team work skills, and health & safety awareness, as well as the presentation and taste of their cooking.

All of the pairs worked excellently to produce great results. They were, truly, all winners although those with slightly higher marks from the judges were awarded with some baking prizes.

Thankyou to Angie and Hilary for arranging the event and for showing again the wonderful success that Nurture Group is!
Very well done, of course, to all of our brilliant children!

Caring at Christmas

The children from Nurture Group represented the school at Carey Gardens Community Centre on Wednesday, providing Christmas High Tea for the elderly.

As a group, prior to the visit, they cooked a selection of finger foods fit for the Queen: scones, salmon mini quiche, mince pies and sandwiches.

Some comments from the children who went:

Francisco - "I enjoyed playing dominoes with Victoria, who showed us how to play. It was fun."

Demoy - "I enjoyed making the pastry."

Jahnade - "I enjoyed making the egg sandwiches."

Shantai - "I enjoyed talking to them."

Jabril - "I liked mixing and making the pastry for the mince pies - they were yummy!"

Ms Hillary and Ms Angie were extremely proud of the group's manners and their ability to interact with the residents. They were fantastic ambassadors representing the school.

Macmillan cake sale at coffee morning

Children from our Nurture Group, supported by their excellent staff, were the hosts for Friday's Macmillan coffee morning. A good number of parents joined us to enjoy the sale of lovely cakes.

Thankyou to all who could join the children and for the generous cake donations.

We would love to see as many parents as possible join us for our regular Friday morning drinks, which follow the shared reading time in classes.
