Friday 16th January
 
What a lovely end to the week we've had, here in Wales Class, finishing on a Friday with some taste-testing.  Our Design and Technology lessons this half term are focused on food, so after looking at all the important food groups, we discussed our favourites from each section (proteins, carbohydrates, fruit & vegetables, dairy and fats & oils).  All that talk of food made us quite hungry, so we were raring to go with this week's exploration of five different foods: mango, cheese, pitta bread, pepper and hummus.  As this was an exploration, rather than a feast, we slowed it down to think hard about smells, textures, and all the different types of taste.  Have you ever properly savoured cheese to identify all the different flavours?  We thought we could taste creaminess, nuttiness, some sweetness and then saltiness - all from a little piece of cheddar.  Least popular was the garlicky hummus, but a definite winner was the mango!
