Year 4 have had a great afternoon making and sampling the foods and drinks of Jamaica.
We have had a great time celebrating the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee! Lots of red, white and blue fun finished off with a lunchtime street party!
5 Blue’s Science and DT lesson sent them down an electrifying route this week, when they experienced making circuits.
Miss Davison was extremely mean, when she handed 5 Blue a pack of broken electrical parts and simply said, “Make it work!”
All of 5 Blue rose to the challenge and managed to make, bulbs light, motors spin and buzzers buzz. They even discovered what happens when you reverse the flow of electrical current.
As part of our “Full of Beans” theme, 5 Blue looked at the energy people get from the coco bean. Obviously, it was absolutely imperative that we find out how the coco bean is transformed from a bitter, inedible bean into the smooth, delicious chocolate we buy in the shops.
Feel free to ask one of us what we have learned at the chocolate factory.
