Monday mornings are a firm favourite in 4M. Today we have been cooking with potatoes. Potato wedges were made & seasoned to peoples liking, & loaded potato skins filled with cheese, tomato, onion or ham - yum! 

We’re preparing to make imprints for next stage of qualification. We carefully used cutting knives to cut out our own unique patterns. 

Brenda, a volunteer from the RNLI in Blackpool came to speak to 4M about water safety in the sea.
She spoke about the important work the lifeboat crew carry out & how we can be more after aware of the dangers of water. 

4M have been cooking up treats in the PCA kitchen. Today we made tomato soup & toasties, which was throughly enjoyed by all. 

In Music we have made tracks in previous lessons where we have composed music & saved them to musical software. Today we are transferring them to our Music teachers so they can be used towards our qualification. 

We have been looking at place value in Maths lessons to help us gain insight to how numbers are built, to gain an understanding of the value of different digits, & to help break down complex numbers.

We’re adding stencilled mandala patterns to our shaving foam art pictures to practice for our final outcome design. 

One of our old teachers, Mrs Docherty came to visit 4M during Humanities to tell us first hand knowledge of what it was like growing up in the 1960s. 

We are adding to our Art Entry Level portfolios with marble shaving foam pictures. We found 2 different ways of creating these pictures which left no waste. 

Cooking is a valuable skill that increases independence, creativity & builds personal confidence. This half term 4M will be focusing on simple lunches that they can choose to make, this week we started with Mac & Cheese. 

4M have made their own breakfast in cooking as a treat. It was a mixture of fun & responsibility as they recalled cooking instructions & skills from previous lessons.
