History: We have been tasting Mayan hot chocolate! We quickly realised that cacao was very bitter and the chilli powder gave it a spicy kick! We have been learning about how important the cacao and chocolate was to the Ancient Mayans.

Maths: We have been finding change in maths. We set up shops and spent money at these shops to find change. We brought together all of our knowledge from our maths lessons about money to apply this to real-world situations.
Science: We have been investing how shadows change throughout the day. The children investigated this change using a torch and 2 cubes. They moved the torch in an arch to represent the apparent moving of the sun through the sky.

Maths: Learning about fractions of an amount using counters
Science: What are shadows? What are they made of? Where do there come from? Today we were investigating about the types of materials that create shadows and how these shadows may change given the material.
