On Tuesday, Year 3 carried out a tasting activity which required them to sample a range of ingredients associated with traditional Christmas treats. The children explored a number of flavours such as dark chocolate, peppermint (in the form of a candy cane), marzipan, chocolate orange (in the form of a brownie) and dates.

Following the sampling session, the children applied their newfound knowledge and understanding of spreadsheets to a data handling activity, where they represented their findings in relation to the most popular traditional taste in Year 3.

Their findings were as follows:

1. Dark Chocolate – 6
2. Marzipan – 5
3. Peppermint – 5
4. Dates – 1
5. Chocolate Orange – 5
