Biscuit Testing and Rating

In Base 10, we tested and rated a variety of biscuits to help inform our own biscuit design. Our evaluation was based on several key factors including appearance, texture, smell, taste, and packaging. By assessing these elements, we gained valuable insights into what makes a biscuit appealing and enjoyable, ensuring that our design meets high standards and caters to target consumer preferences.

Telford Minster Trip

Year 3 and 4 walked to Telford Minster Church to learn about the Christmas story from a Christian perspective. The visit was an opportunity to explore the meaning of Christmas beyond the usual celebrations, as we looked at the religious significance of the birth of Jesus. At the church, we heard about the events surrounding His birth, including the journey of Mary and Joseph and the visit of the shepherds. We also had the opportunity to express gratitude for those in our lives and reflect on the importance of being thankful. This experience helped us understand the spiritual meaning of Christmas in the Christian faith and its message of hope, peace and love.

Base 10 Odd Socks Day and Anti Bullying Week 2024 (11th – 15th November):

 

 

For Odd Socks Day and Anti-Bullying Week this year, Base 10 took part in lots of fun and meaningful activities to learn about kindness and the importance of standing up against bullying. We all wore odd socks to celebrate our differences and show that being unique is something to be proud of. In class, we completed a guided reading comprehension about bullying and friendship, and we had PSHE sessions where we looked at different bullying scenarios and discussed how we could help. We also joined the BBC Live Lesson to learn more about bullying prevention. To show our creativity and individuality, we designed our own odd socks to represent how unique we all are. Finally, we designed and created posters to spread the message of kindness and respect. It was a week full of learning, fun, and inspiration!

Base 10 Remembrance Day 2024

 

This year, for Remembrance Day, we marked the occasion with a variety of meaningful activities. Along with taking part in a reading comprehension activity that helped us understand the significance of the day, we had a special assembly with a veteran who shared their experiences, making the day even more poignant. In addition to these activities, we created our own artwork to honour the fallen. Using tissue paper, we made beautiful poppy collages, carefully layering the paper to form the bright red petals and dark centres of the flowers. The artwork helped us reflect on the importance of Remembrance Day and gave us a creative way to express our respect and gratitude for those who sacrificed so much.
