  • Class 3 Visit to Cadbury World

    Published 08/06/17

    Class 3 had a fantastic time on their visit to Cadbury world yesterday not only did they impress the lady who led the educational talk on The Mayans with their knowledge of games the Mayan people used to play and some very gruesome facts about them they also added to their knowledge, information about the Mayan number system and enjoyed watching a couple of members of the class dress up - one was a particularly scary King. It would be fair to say the children also enjoyed their chocolate samples both the ones they received exploring the factory and the ones they were able to bring home.
