The Great Bannockburn Healthy Bake Off 2018
On Friday 2nd November, the hall at Manor Way provided the setting for our first ever Bake-Off competition. Mr Smales and Ms Kimmins, who is one of our Governors, were judges and the audience consisted of members of the KS2 Fair Trade & Healthy Eating Monitors Team, who were there to scrutinse the ingredients and recipes and then offer their feedback to our judges. The judges tasted over 25 delicious and healthy bakes, from cupcakes to cookies and biscuits to brownies, and the afternoon culminated in a Bake Sale in the hall, with all the proceeds raised going towards our Children in Need fundraising for November.
Well done to everyone who took part and went to such brilliant efforts; the Fair Trade & Healthy Eating Monitors Team would like to say a big thank you also for helping to promote healthy eating across the school.

Collaborative Debate with Alexander McLeod Primary
Today, a group of fifteen Year 5 and 6 children from Bannockburn collaborated with 15 pupils from Alexander McLeod Primary School to prepare for and hold a debate. The question we considered was 'Should children be allowed to vote?'.
We used newspaper articles, blog posts and our own experiences to identify points to support and oppose the debate question. We began our day with a working breakfast of hot chocolate, brioche and fruit while we got to know each other, before putting together our research and sharing our ideas. We nominated key speakers and prepared and rehearsed our arguments in the morning and enjoyed sharing a lunchtime together.
In the afternoon, the Key Stage 2 Bannockburn Debate Pupil Partnerships group came to watch our debate, along with Mrs Seeranj and Mr Clarke (our judging panel). We were so impressed by the thoroughness of everyone's research and how respectfully everyone communicated their ideas- we had a brilliant day!
We want to say a huge thanks to our new friends at Alexander McLeod Primary School- we had a fantastic day working with you and we are already working on a new project for us to collaborate in the future!

Nursery - A Visit by Jamb Owls
Today the nursery children had a visit from Jamb Owls.We had nine different types of owls in Acorn Class. We learnt facts about the different owls and were able to ask questions. We were fascinated by the different noises owls make, not just 'twit twooo.' We held an owl and gave them a gentle stroke. If you are interested in finding out about owls, you will be able to find Jamb Owls at Hall Place in Bexley.
