In order to support their work on writing instructions, as well as food technology, Y4 spent time today making a delicious vegetable soup. Under close supervision, the children had to prepare and weigh the ingredients, help to mix, cook, liquidise and finally, taste the soup.
The verdict was...."delicious" (the equivalent of a Paul Hollywood handshake)!

Children in Year 5 spent a morning mountaineering and conquering Everest last week. Their journey took them past Hillary's Bridge to Base Camp and then onto Camp 5 before eventually reaching the summit. On the way they saw huge moving ice sheets with dangerous crevasses as well as stunning views of the whole range of the Himalayas. The wind was howling on their ascent and at times it felt as if they were actually floating.
This whole experience was, of course, made possible by using VR headsets, using technology to make learning more memorable.

It was such a privilege to have been asked to be part of "Kids Judge Bett" at the Excel Arena in London on Friday. Bett is the world’s largest, annual education technology exhibition. It connects over 30,000 educators, policymakers, and industry leaders with 600+ EdTech providers to showcase AI, digital tools, and innovations designed to transform learning.
A very long, but memorable day for our Y6 Digital Leaders began in a deserted Sheffield station well before 6.00am. in order to receive the brief from the organisers on site at 9.30am.
Once in the exhibition we were asked to consider inclusivity, sustainability, innovation and cost of various products as well as explore any other presenters that grabbed our attention. So much to choose from but we decided to give our award for "The best cross curricular learning resource" to a UK designed and built data reader tool (https://data-harvest.co.uk/) that was simple to use, gave instant feedback and was able to display data in a variety of formats on any connected device. We had to make a short presentation on the main stage to justify our choice, helped by YouTuber and CBeebies presenter Maddie Moate who presented the award.
We are so proud of our Digital Leaders who represented Ecclesall quite brilliantly throughout the day, asking intelligent questions, putting various products through their paces with all conversations and interactions always underpinned by our school values of kindness, positivity and respect - well done!
Thank you so much to Mr Tague for all his work to ensure that the children had this wonderful opportunity and making sure that the day ran so smoothly.
