We had visitors from Leeds Autism Services today. They shared their own personal experiences with autism and informed the children what autism is. They also gave the children advice on how best to support peers with autism, in the classroom.
What a great presentation! One of our pupils said that it was his best assembly he's ever had!

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