🍬 From Bean to Bar… to Sugar! 🍫
As part of our exciting From Bean to Bar inquiry, we’re heading to the Chelsea Sugar Factory to explore how an everyday ingredient—sugar—is made, processed, and packaged! This real-world experience will help bring our learning to life as we discover how businesses operate, how products are created, and how they end up in our homes.
📅 Room 14 & 16 – Friday 22 August
📅 Room 15 & 17 – Friday 29 August
🚌 Please arrive at school by 7:30am for the roll at the bus bay.
