Great day with plenty of really useful information and questions asked from the professionals who visited and spent time with us today to deliver such a great session.  Having learnt how to carry out really valuable risk assessments in their home learners completed workplace based risk assessments, scoring risk levels and looking at control measures.
All legislation and some really useful information can be found here: http://www.hse.gov.uk/risk/index.htm
Looking forward to seeing any changes to our working practice that we need to make next week.

Ahoy there me hearties. Today we celebrated International Talk like a Pirate Day with a day crammed full of pirate themed activities - from cooking a colourful tomato and mozzarella pearl pie, making wooden owls (not quite parrots), to taking part in a superb team challenge - to make various pirate artefacts - a 3d cutlass, a hat that fits your head, and a boat that floats, a parrot and a treasure chest. Some fantastic effort and really great way to start the day. Lots of lovely food to eat at lunchtime and great fun had by everyone.

Harvesting this year's marrows was just the beginning of the fun on Thursday and learners prepared two fabulous dishes crammed full of taste and healthy vitamins.  Along the way learners looked at how we check temperatures of food as it cooks, discussed lots of different ideas for timing our cooking.
With the marrows safely in the oven everyone discussed what types of ovens they had, how they chose them and looked at lots of other alternatives available on the market today.
Great to be eating fresh from the garden too.

The wood working activities this week covered creating lovely wooden animals using birch disks - each one individual and at its heart a series of circles. The group learnt new techniques for measuring, finding the centre of the circle, key words such as diameter, circumference and rekindled school days as they used a compass and ruler as to design and bring their creations to life. Safe working, sawing techniques and use of power tools were all centre stage as the animals sprung to life. Well done to everyone, the results were amazing......

Lunch was a sumptuous feast with some fabulous bread, herby salad and tangy salza to keep us all fueled up for the afternoon. Lots of new learning, some great ideas for making our bread more exciting, healthy and full of vitamins. Recipes were researched, ingredients weighed, temperatures agreed for getting the bread to rise just right. Nutritional values were identified, and costings were calculated too. All in a morning's work....... tasted heavenly!

Resources, tools, costings were all considered, as was the right materials for the job. Some great teamworking and discussion took place to iron out some of the finer details of the construction. The end result looked fabulous. Well done to everyone that took part, a great job done and lots of great skills learnt to take forwards.
