Chocolate

Everyone in Gascoigne class had a fantastic day last Friday when we were visited by Chocolatologist Carl Turner from the Ministry of Chocolate.
The children were challenged to use and apply a range of science, history, maths and DT skills throughout the morning as they were set tasks which would enable them to become chocolate experts themselves.

There were some great practical activities including tasting, smelling and even LISTENING to chocolate, as well as lots of information about FairTrade and the origins of chocolate. I think if Carl ever requires an assistant he will have at least 28 applications from our class. 

In other news, the year 5's visited Queen Ethelburga's school on Wednesday to complete this years Bebras computing test. Although we had a slight technical glitch regarding the test, the children still had an excellent day and made the most of seeing a different school environment.
