The children in Year 2 thoroughly enjoyed their trip to Cadbury World in May. They learned about the journey of chocolate – from bean to bar – and saw several of the processes used in the making of Cadbury chocolate bars.
They particularly enjoyed writing their names with melted chocolate, learning how to temper chocolate and of course the taste tests!
Earlier in May Class 4 had a lovely trip to Pizza Hut to experience first hand the joys of making their own pizza! The children had fun learning about pizza cookery and choosing their own toppings, plus of course polishing off the results for lunch.
On Tuesday 8th May Chamber Choir participated in Stowe School’s Choral Festival. An intensive but enjoyable day of rehearsals culminated in performances of musical theatre songs in the Ugland Auditorium and three sacred works in a compline service in Stowe’s beautiful chapel.

On Tuesday 20th March Year 2 visited Hamerton Zoo Park near Huntingdon. This half term Year 2 have been studying “Families” and learning about different animal families.
During the visit the children took part in a workshop called ‘Fur, Feathers and Scales’, which helped them to learn about some of the different animal groups and how to recognise them, based on their features. They met an African Pygmy Hedgehog called Harry, a Conure Parrot called Alfie and a Corn Snake called Bo, which they were allowed to hold. They saw many exciting animals including Siberian tigers, cheetahs, Canadian lynx, hooded vultures, meerkats, a variety of lemurs, gibbons, several different owls and an anteater.
It was a fantastic and informative day!
The weather was kind to Year 3 on Friday 9th March as they enjoyed a fantastic day out in Howe Park Wood.
The purpose of the trip was for the children to work together to improve their team building skills and there was certainly plenty of opportunity for that!
They split into groups; water was filtered, dens were built, fires were lit and they played team games.
They had to work together to complete tasks and once those challenges were met, the numbers for a secret code for a treasure chest were earned!
It was muddy, wet and squelchy ……and a great day was had by all!
During their trip to Waddesdon Manor in December, the Reception Year
children spent some time making their own Christmas decoration and learning how to decorate and assemble it.
They also visited the house itself and had great fun finding the numbered
baubles in each room. They enjoyed looking at all the spectacularly
decorated rooms, particularly enjoying the bathroom with the seal in the
bath tub!
In January 2018 Year 1 pupils enjoyed a very informative visit to St. Mary’s Church in Whaddon. They learned how Christians use the building for their faith, as well as developing their knowledge about local historical places. The children took part in a hunt for unusual artefacts, and then returned to observe, draw and colour their most interesting ‘finds.’ They represented MKPS so well that the churchwarden has already invited them back again!
Year 1 enjoyed learning the movement and steps for the Chinese Umbrella Dance. They had to take extra care as these props were made out of delicate rice paper; however, no one tried to taste them!
A second group of Pre-Reception children wrapped up warmly for a cold and sunny walk in the woods to experience how the seasons are changing. A mug of hot chocolate warmed them up at the end before coming back to school.
On Thursday 16th November Class 11 went to The Victoria and Albert museum in London. They had a brilliant time at a workshop about the Great Exhibition in Crystal Palace and thoroughly enjoyed visiting the sculpture galleries and Cast Courts to see some examples of sculpture from all around the world, in particular a plaster cast of Michelanglo’s David. They visited the British Galleries to see examples of British design throughout the Victorian era and they were very excited to see ‘Tipu’s Tiger’ which was a favourite from a Design Technology project last year.
