A week of Jamaican learning

What a fantastic final week we have had learning about Jamaica. On Tuesday we were visited by two chefs from Boom Taste, a new Caribbean take-away in Bath. The children had great fun making fried plantain and dumplings. They had even more fun tasting the finished products! This really helped our Jamaican topic come to life. The chefs really enjoyed working with the children and were impressed with their knowledge of Jamaica.

We also had a visit from Una and Ryan who are both from Jamaica. The children asked lots of interesting questions and found out lots about what life was like growing up in Jamaica. We even got to try some Jamaican treats!

Miss Hurley and Miss Granato are sadly leaving us at the end of the week. They have been with us since October and we have all loved having them in 1B. The children have learnt so much from them and I know that they have learnt lots from being with the children! We wish them the best of luck as they move on to their next school placement. I know they will both be brilliant teachers!

Please note there will be no spellings sent home this week as next week is half- term.

Have a lovely break!
