The highlight of our week continues to be our trip to the QE2 centre here are some great photos of our adventures over the last two weeks.

The students in 16SC had a great day designing and making our Osborne Bake Off entry. We decided to base our theme on ‘pirates’ as Sammy loves pirates and ‘sharks’ as Alex has recently been singing the theme tune of Jaws to everyone’s delight in class.

Our task was to make ‘Tropical Rocky Road’ and most of the students loved trying a range of tropical fruits, some just enjoyed smelling and feeling them and Sammy simply enjoyed balancing the pineapple on his head!

The students were completely engaged by the whole day and were very excited when we headed down to the hall for the judging. Ben was keen to dress up as a pirate and added the drama to our entry as he raised his sword and shouted Arrrrrrr! scaring the judges as they tasted our entry – Rocky, Tropical, Shark Infested Pirate Island. We were all very excited and proud when we were announced as the winners of the coveted ‘Mary and Paul’s Favourite Bake’ category. What a fantastic day!
