Carter has been busy researching Italy and making some lovely Italian food, as well as learning about important symbols in Buddhism. What is an important symbol in your life?
Here is a recipe for focaccia, the Italian bread that Carter made:
Place the flour, salt, yeast, olive oil and 300ml/10½fl oz of the water into a large bowl. Gently stir with your hand or a wooden spoon to form a dough, then knead the dough in the bowl for five minutes, gradually adding the remaining water.
Stretch the dough by hand in the bowl, tuck the sides into the centre, turn the bowl 90 degrees and repeat the process for about five minutes.
Tip the dough onto an oiled work surface and continue kneading for five more minutes. Return the dough to the bowl, cover and leave to rise until doubled in size.
Line a large baking tray with baking paper. Tip the dough out of the bowl and flatten the dough onto the prepared tray, pushing to the corners, cover with a large plastic bag, making sure it does not touch the top of the dough, then leave to prove for one hour.
Preheat the oven to 220C/200C Fan/Gas 7. Drizzle the loaves with oil, sprinkle with fine sea salt then bake in the oven for 20 minutes. When cooked, drizzle with a little more olive oil and serve hot or warm.
Carter has worked really hard on our topic 'Europe' this week, and has become a chef of European cuisine, such as Spanish tapas, Italian pizza, and Viennese bread. Doesn't it look delicious? He has also created an art response to Salvador Dali's painting 'The Elephants', and researched animals found in Spain. Have you heard of all these animals?
He then did some more research and carefully drew and wrote about some famous European landmarks. Well done Carter!

Glad you are keeping up with the exercise too!! Good job!!
Minna made a delicious Sacher torte (yum) which is an Austrian chocolate cake or torte invented by Franz Sacher! If you look closely at the pic you can see Franz Sacher just below the torte.
She also made a poster of her favourite Austrian animals. - Good job Minna :)
He has also been growing some veg in the garden- does anyone know what vegetable he is holding? It begins with an R! He might put it in a salad to go with the pizza! George also went to litter-pick on the Rec in order to do his part to take care of the environment like we are learning about in R.E.
Isla's been busy baking this half term. She made a Tiramisu and a Lotus Biscoff Cheesecake for her Dad's birthday. She wrote down all the ingredients and measured them out carefully and accurately. Well done Isla!

Phinehas & Maths
Well done to Phinehas who has been working hard on his Maths this week! He has been answering lots of questions on fractions. Have you had a chance to look at the Oak National Academy lessons on fractions yet?
Eban drew a mythical creature called the Chimera. He has also managed to write his name in Greek letters - Well done.
The last picture is very interesting! It is a picture of when Eban went to Turkey on holiday 2 years ago, he visited a mountain where a creature was said to have roamed. To this day, eternal flames come out of the ground. How interesting!! Thank you for sharing Eban.
Is anyone else a bit scared of Stanley's mythical beast, the 'Snagon'? What about Eoin's Minotaur named Jeff?
