Dear
Mead Parents and children,
After
showing a great interest in “The Story of Sugar” by Meredith Hooper” the Mead
children have investigated the different kinds of sugar, from raw sugar to
icing sugar. They have learnt about the journey of sugar from sugar cane to
shop shelf. In the story the sugar was stored in a warehouse and we discussed
how that protects it, particularly from the rain. The children were interested
in what happens to sugar when it gets wet, so we did an experiment to see (and
taste!) the results.
It’s
raw brown sugar – Tom
It
smells lovely – Toby and Olympia
It
smells interesting – Dougal
It
(the sugar) needs to go to the refinery – Tom
I
hear the crunching (stirring) – Jock
It’s
like flour (icing sugar) – Toby
Where
did the sugar go? – asked the teacher
In
the water. It’s sugar water – James S
Best
wishes,
Emma,
Pip and Amelia
