‘Serious about Sugar; Passionate about People’ is the Year 3 and 4 expedition for this term. Throughout the expedition, we will be investigating the question “Why is sugar NOT so sweet?” by being historians in our first case study, scientists in our second case study and by being designers in our final case study.

The children were quite excited when I told them that our final product was going to be a jar of sweets they were going to make themselves.

Letters have gone home this evening about our field trip in May to Brodsworth Hall. There is currently an exhibition at the hall that is directly linked to our first case study and it will be a great opportunity for the children to see with their own eyes, how their local area was so closely linked to significant events in history.

We have had a great start to the exhibition and the children were very good at identifying how seemingly unconnected objects were linked to our expedition and beginning to create decorations to immerse our classroom!

Children in LKS2 have been working hard this week on producing Easter cards for their loved ones, but this year, there has been a very special message included in the cards.

We have learnt about the amazing Ukrainian tradition of making ‘Pysanky’, beautifully decorated eggs using coloured dyes and wax. Traditionally, the eggs carry messages through the use of symbols.

We have recreated our version of the ‘Pysanky’ and we have selected symbols to decorate them to send a message of hope to the Ukrainian people.

I hope our families enjoy the lovely colourful cards with a hidden message.
