A Sugar Expert Visits Plover

13th June 2022Mrs Shuka

Today LKS2 were excited to welcome a sugar expert to Plover School.

Paul Crystal is a published author and historian and has thrilled us with his knowledge of Why sugar is not so sweet. He shared the history of sugar and how it has been used through the ages.

Did you know sugar was used in medicines? Did you know sugar was rationed during WW1 and WW2? Imagine no sweets or cakes! Did you know that they used to mix plaster and brick dust into sugary sweets?

Did you know that Doncaster is famous for butterscotch? I wonder if you can find the building where Parkinsonā€™s toffee was made and sold in the city centre.
