In our DT lesson, we baked cookies in 2 sessions. First session we baked plain cookies, and then we adapted the recipe and added chocolate chips or sprinkles and icing .  We learnt how to measure the right amount of ingredients using the scales . We also followed the instructions step by step . 

In Mrs Parry's Maths group, we have been looking at place value practically. We used place value stickers to represent numbers and this allowed us to then partition the numbers. We did numbers all the way up to 10,000! 

The children really enjoyed learning with the place value stickers and they produced some amazing Maths work.
