Crew Knowles look so cosy in their pyjamas today! They’ve also been working incredibly hard on their expedition reflection whilst staying nice and comfy!

We were lucky enough to have Carolyne from Sugar Rush visit us today to teach us all about where chocolate comes from and how it is made! It was so interesting and the children even got to taste some yummy treats – we can confirm that her brownies are absolutely delicious! Thank you!

Year 4 have been learning all about the importance of chocolate to the Mayan culture. They looked at how the warriors used chocolate, how the Mayans used it for trade, and how it linked to religion.

Did you know the Mayans thought chocolate was a gift from the gods and was more valuable than gold?

We have practised using subordinate conjunctions this week to add further detail to our sentences. We used roll mats to generate subordinate conjunctions that either had to go at the start of our sentences or in the middle.

Crew Knowles had a fantastic expedition lesson this afternoon learning all about Mayan life. I was really impressed with the independent reading and retrieval skills and all of the information they learned along the way!

We love the giant sweet wrappers we created as part of our family learning! Everyone worked super hard on them today to improve them further!

We had great fun in family learning this afternoon creating giant sweet packets and getting involved in some Mayan inspired dancing!
