Guiding question
So the end of the week as come for hook week. The children have really enjoyed learning about Maya People and what they ate and drank in their time. The children then had ago at predicting what the guiding question will be . They didn’t get it right
How ever the guiding question is: What is the cost of a bar of chocolate?
Title : From bean to bar
Hook week (DT)
Today we have looked at how the Maya people made their hot chocolate. We found that they used chilli in theirs.
Blind food tasting
In expedition, we have tried different foods whilst our eyes were shut. We were given each piece of food and used our senses to see if we could figure out what it was. First, we touched the food to see what it felt like, then we smelt the food to see if there were any strong smells to identify and then we tasted it. We guessed tuna because of the smell but we struggled with avocado!
Blind Taste Testing
Today, Crew Hamill continued their hook week investigations into our new expedition by kick starting our DT lessons for this half term with a blind taste test. We all had to close our eyes and were given a selection of different foods that were popular in Ancient Maya. We had no idea what these 5 items were until we had touched them, smelt them and tasted them. Some of us were super brave and made sure we tasted them all! However, lots of us instantly regretted tasting the last food item (chilli pepper!!) and had to run straight to the sink for a drink to cool our mouths down!
Hook Week(DT)
After getting our wrap ready into dough balls. We then rolled it out and fried it to make the tortilla wrap. We then left it to cool and started to get our ingredients to chop to put in our wrap. Once it was cool we then made our own wrap which we found very delicious
Hook Week( Making a tortilla wrap)
In DT we made our first ever tortilla wrap. We used our math skills to weigh out the ingredients
Hook week( blind tasting)
Today we have been leaning about our taste buds and how they worked then we did some blind tasting to see if we could see what we thought about each piece of food
Easter/Spring Card
After having opportunities to practice or collaging skills it was time to complete the final product to take home to our chosen adult.
Collaging
Last week, we continued practicing our collaging skills by taking some elements of the final product to have a go at. We looked at the shape and appropriate shapes to use to create the object we wanted.
