A Tasty Learning Adventure!
Year 2 have been exploring healthy eating and food preparation. A highlight was our trip to Pizza Express, where pupils learned how pizzas are made, talked about allergies and kitchen hygiene, and enjoyed creating their own delicious pizzas.

On the walk through Millbank, the children also observed a peaceful farmers’ protest, sparking discussions about where our food comes from and how people share their views.

Back at school, we’ve continued building cooking skills and learning about healthy choices. The children have been enthusiastic and hands-on throughout!

Try-It-at-Home: Simple Family Pizza Recipe

Here’s a simple pizza recipe you might like to try with your child. It’s flexible and easy to adapt to suit any dietary or cultural requirements.

Ingredients (makes 2 small pizzas):

• 200g plain flour (use gluten-free if needed)
  
  

• ½ tsp baking powder
  
  

• ½ tsp salt
  
  

• 150g natural yoghurt (or dairy-free alternative)
  
  

• 3–4 tbsp tomato passata or sieved tomatoes
  
  

• A handful of grated cheese (mozzarella, cheddar, dairy-free alternative, or omit for cheese-free diets)
  
  

• Optional toppings: sweetcorn, peppers, mushrooms, olives, pineapple, cooked chicken, or any family favourites

Method:

1. Make the base: Mix the flour, baking powder, salt, and yoghurt in a bowl. Bring the mixture together into a soft dough.
   
   

2. Shape: Divide into two balls and roll each into a circle about ½ cm thick.
   
   

3. Sauce: Spread a thin layer of tomato passata over each base.
   
   

4. Toppings: Add cheese and any other toppings your family enjoys. Encourage your child to create patterns or faces!
   
   

5. Bake: Place on a baking tray and cook at 200°C for 12–15 minutes, until the edges are golden.

Do Your :Bit

A MICRO:BIT digital challenge for the global goals

At Vauxhall Primary School, we believe every child can make a difference. Through the Do Your :Bit program, we combine creativity, coding, and compassion to inspire pupils to use technology for good.

In Monday’s Coding club, children have been designing and coding  using the BBC micro:bit, exploring real-world challenges linked to the United Nations Global Goals. By using computational thinking and teamwork, they have  created innovative, tech-based solutions that promote positive change — developing the skills, confidence, and empathy needed to shape a better future for everyone.
