Edible Arts Crazy Week



Let the edible madness begin!  The children have enthusiastically been researching fashion from around the globe and linking this with the cuisine from each country.  Now it's time to create!  Having worked together to develop a plan, they are then going to create amazing styles for the catwalk this coming weekend at the Edible Arts Awards.  The classroom has been abuzz with children furiously discussing ideas and learning the art of negotiation and cooperation, as produce ranging from licorice through to pasta is traded among the groups.  As soon as a new bag of marshmallows floods the market, the value drops dramatically. Please all come to our mid-term assembly on Friday 30th May to view these finished creations on the catwalk. Thank you to those mums - Jayne, Kirsty, Fiona, Katie, Saran and Kathleen for your patience and support.  We couldn't have done it without you.
