Room 32/34 Cakes
As part of their maths learning Room 32 and 34 made cake slices.
“We started by making designs for our cakes then once we finished our designs we got paper templates to make into cake pieces, we folded the templates. We waited a day then we tin foiled them but we had to make sure there were no gaps if there was we got them fixed by a teacher. We then dipped powdery plaster into water we left that for a few days to dry. The icing recipe for our icing is gib primer p.v.a glue. We piped some icing with a piping bag onto our cakes. While that was drying we painted our clay decorations for the top of our cakes and when the icing dried on our cakes we painted the cake the colours we needed. Next we varnished our cakes and our decorations to make it shiny once we let that dry we hot glued on the our decorations onto our cakes then we varnished them again.”

Sit Less, Move More, Sleep Well Physical Activity Guidelines for Children and Young People
For school-aged children and young people (aged 5 to 17 years) high levels of physical activity, low levels of sedentary behaviour and sufficient sleep each day achieves greater health benefits.
A healthy 24 hours includes:
- quality uninterrupted sleep of 9 to 11 hours per night for those aged 5 to 13 years and 8 to 10 hours per night for those aged 14 to 17 years, with consistent bed and wake-up times.
- an accumulation of at least one hour a day of moderate to vigorous physical activity (incorporate vigorous physical activities and activities that strengthen muscles and bones, at least three days a week).
- no more than two hours per day of recreational screen time.
- for the remainder of the day:
- sitting less, moving more – break up sitting time.
- participating in structured and unstructured light physical activities.
Preserving sleep, trading indoor time for outdoor time, and replacing sedentary behaviours and light physical activity with additional moderate to vigorous physical activity can provide greater health benefits.

What is a Walking School Bus?
It is a group of children who walk together to/from school with parent supervisors along a set route.
Why should I join a Walking School Bus?
There are so many benefits of a walking school bus! Parents get to connect with one another, children get to have fun and get active. There is less congestion at school gates with more people walking which helps to improve the safety of the roads around schools.

Route A – 3 days a week (days vary). Contact Sophie 021 8000 98
