History
In history we have been learning all about food. We began by looking at how cooking appliances have changed and then were fortunate enough to time travel back to the Stuart times and meet King James I who taught us all about food in the 1600s. We then had a visit from Miss Lucy’s grandma who talked about food when she was a little girl. We created questions to ask a grandparent.
Please remember to ask your and bring your answers back to class on the first TUESDAY back after half term.
Today, we found out the history of the potato. Now it’s your turn to find out about your favourite food.
Use the sheet to find out about your favourite food. King James wants us to present our findings so please bring your findings back to class on the first TUESDAY back after half term.
