Have a lovely lovely holiday everyone, be safe and happy. For those of you who are moving on, sunshine all the way. For those of you who are staying, see you in August.

Love Ms Andrea

On Monday 17th June 3N had a wonderful time visiting the university cacao plantation. It is not often we can see something being made from beginning to end but Year 3 had the pleasure to see this on their trip. In the plantation we saw the young cacao plants and the fully grown ones. The children were able to see the flowers on the trunk of the tree and then observe the flowers changing to small cocoa pods and then fully grown ones. Then it was on to the Marou factory where Vincent and Samuel, the owners showed us how the cacao beans are made into a bar of delicious Marou chocolate. The children saw the roasing, shelling of the nibs, mixing, tempering, moulding and cooling and finally the wrapping of the bars all under one roof. As a last treat they were able to taste the chocolate and take a bar home.
Enjoy our pictures of the trip.

The Chocolate Song

Oh I’ve got lots of chocolate

Give me lovely chocolate

It’s the best thing to eat for sure

When I get eggs for Easter it’s my favourite treat

And I can always make some room for more.

I’ve got some plain and milk ones

And some toffee filled ones

I’ve got boxes all around the place

I’ve got a strong affection for my chocolate collection

I’m mad about that chocolate taste!

Oh I’ve got lots of chocolate

Give me lovely chocolate

It’s the best thing to eat for sure

When I get eggs for Easter it’s my favourite treat

And I can always make some room for more.

I’ve eaten milky white ones

With some sweets inside them

I’ve got chocolate all around my face

They’ve got some pretty wrappers, but that’s not what matters,

I’m mad about that chocolate taste!

Oh I’ve got lots of chocolate

Give me lovely chocolate

It’s the best thing to eat for sure

When I get eggs for Easter it’s my favourite treat

And I can always make some room for more.

Year 3 have enjoyed reflecting on the success of Science and Technology week and are even more enthusiastic for Science in class! This week we enjoyed a Science Fair themed assembly from Ms Georgina’s class – a big well done to them!

 

It’s getting hotter and hotter outside at the moment so a big reminder for all children to bring their hats and water bottles to school each day.

Have a lovely weekend,

Year 3 Team
