On Friday 5th March twenty-four children from Glebe House represented the school in the annual Cross Country Championships at Langley Prep School in Norwich. There were six races in all, one for girls and one for boys in each of the three categories:- Under 11s, Under 9s and Under 7s. In all twelve schools competed.

 

Everyone was excited and eager to participate as we assembled very early in the morning. There were some very good results in both the team and individual competitions. Sophia Basset came third in her race and the Under 7 girls were second overall. Sam Stonebridge was also third in the Under 7 boys` race, narrowly pipped for second place in the final yard, and his team were third overall. Tom Sowerby again showed his immense sporting prowess by coming third in the Under 9 boys` race. They came second overall in the team competition.langleycc2.jpg

 

All the pupils enjoyed themselves a great deal and devoured their pack lunches with relish after the races. Well done to everyone who participated and also to Mrs Hipwell who gave all concerned tremendous support and encouragement!

The Day Division One went Italian!
Thursday, 11 March 2010

Last Wednesday Mrs Lewis and Mrs Maud took Division One to King’s Lynn to visit Pizza Express. In class Division One has been studying different countries around the world, their cultures, flags, famous buildings and, most importantly, their food.  To follow up work on Italy Division One got the chance to design and make their own pizzas.  pizza_express_037.jpg

 

We started by trying lots of different toppings. Archie liked the goat’s cheese, Laura tried a little bit of anchovy and Arthur had his favourite -olives. After a thorough scrub down, to make sure our hands were clean (check out the cool hand dryers) we donned chef hats and aprons and began cooking.  The chef showed us how to stretch and toss our dough into the pan then we tipped the tomato sauce in. Emma was really cleaver and made a heart shape with her sauce. Everybody got to choose their toppings and Mrs Maud made one for the teachers with everything on it.

 

While we waited for our pizzas to cook (they only take 4 minutes in the super hot pizza oven) we had a tour of the restaurant. We got to see a really big coffee machine (much bigger than my Mummy’s – Georgina), a dishwasher just like the one at school and best of all we got to go in the freezer, which was FREEEEEEEZING!

 

When our pizza’s were cooked and boxed up we all said goodbye (or should that be Arrivederci) and made our way back to school in a minibus that smelt of yummy scrummy pizza.

 

Thanks Pizza Express for a great time cooking pizza and thanks Division One for being so well-behaved.
