Sandwich making (BEC Project)

In year 3 we have made sandwiches. We made sandwiches to sell to teachers. We did this to raise money to buy some wet play games for year 3.


There was a meal deal that they could choose two of either a "super-surprise", fruit, or drink.

We delivered the sandwiches to the teacher's classroom.

We had to wear hats and gloves before we made the sandwiches. We made the sandwiches in the children's kitchen.

Most people chose the tuna crunch. The most expensive sandwich was £2.50 but there was also £1.80 and £1.50.

We used butter, with a lot of different breads and rolls. We also used mayonnaise and mustard.

We made tuna crunch, cheese salad, ham, chicken.

Then we sold the sandwiches to every teacher in the school.

We designed the order forms and made posters to advertise it. We also made labels to put on the wrappers. We learnt about sandwiches and what makes a healthy sandwich.

We raised more then £124.00 but we spent £59.58 on ingredients so overall profit was £64.42 to spend on our games. Each class has £32.21 to spend on their own games.

Our Diwali Day

Recently Year 3 held Diwali Day as we have been working on Hinduism during our RE sessions. Diwali was on the 17th October so we celebrated it on the 16th October.

Here are some pictures and comments from some of the children:

We made real Diwa lamps and lit them at the end of the day and made a wish.

Some of us children made a traditional indian drink called Mango Lassi majority of us liked it.

We made a cookie each and we ate it when we went home.

Some of us drew some symmetrical patterns and these patterns are called Rangoli.

We made Rocky Roads because during Diwali they eat and share sweets.

We did some dances on the patio with dancing sticks.

We dressed up in some traditional clothes called Sarees.

We coloured in some of our own Diwali lamps and wrote hopes for the new year on the back of them.
