Barclays Bank Visit
Today Year 5 visited Barclays Bank in Northwich. We learnt about using ATMs, PIN numbers, cash back, cheques, direct debits and standing orders. We also learnt about life skills including: self-esteem and confidence, assertiveness and how our emotions and reactions dictate our outcomes. We had a tour and saw lots of employees working mainly on the telephones to customers.
Cooking Greek Style!
This week Year 5 have been cooking with Mrs Barnes. First we made milopita cakes with apple and cinnamon. Mrs Pearce enjoyed a daily treat! We also baked Greek bread. We used thyme, which some of us didn’t like.
Our Visit to the Monkey Forest
We had a brilliant trip to the Monkey Forest. We saw monkeys grooming as a sign of affection; chattering to show they were being friendly and a little bit of fighting! We watched as the monkeys were fed: fruit, vegetables and cereal. We loved all their different facial expressions.
