Year 5 Iveson Blog

In Year 5 we explore The Maya and their legacy...this includes CHOCOLATE! We began by trying out the traditional Mayan recipe for chocolatyl; a drink made from cacao. It was very bitter and had a bit of a spicy kick! We simmered cocoa, and added cinnamon and chili; before using different pouring techniques to create a frothiness that was typical of the Mayan Chocolatyl. We smelled the spices We poured the chocolatyl from height to build the froth We then taste tested and adapted the recipe to suit our modern tastebuds!

We've been exploring forces like water resistance... We created our own mini documentaries about water resistance to share our knowledge with others!

https://musiclab.chromeexperiments.com/Song-Maker/ We're exploring different uses of technology and one of them is music... We've been thinking about how modern music production has evolved and how producers now don't even need physical instruments or a studio, they can just use a laptop/tablet! You can have a go at home!
