Chocolatl Day

What a day we've had! 

We started off by learning our Mayan names, which was a lot of fun! Did you know the Mayans were named after the day/month they were born in?!

We learnt about all the different traditional foods that the Mayans ate and even tried a native chocolatl recipe with chilli and cinnamon. Safe to say, that didn't go down all too well! 

We were then given our task: to write, brand and make our very own chocolatl recipe. The children chose from a list of ingredients and were challenged to stay within budget and keep an acceptable health rating too. Tasting time was everyone's favourite and we learnt a new way to record our opinions: a star profile. Children then designed packaging including a picture, name and description to catch the customers eye. Some children were brave enough to present their new branding to the class - well done!
