During ‘Around the World’ week, Form 3 had a fantastic time learning all about Italy.  The week began with ice-cream tasting where a wide variety of authentic gelato was tested including salted caramel and pistachio; needless to say chocolate was the overall favourite!  The children used all the information that they had learned to then create their own ice-cream advert and design their own packaging.
Throughout the week the children took part in a carousel of activities including pasta art, independently researching Italy using a variety of sources and, of course, pizza making.  The aroma of freshly baked pizza tempted all who came our way!  Finally, the children had been set a homework challenge to make a model of a famous Italian landmark.  The entrants were incredibly varied and imaginative.  Models included a cucumber Leaning Tower of Pisa, an edible Mount Vesuvius and even a Pope in a soap!  Prize winners will be announced by the end of the week.
