There was excitement in the air on Wednesday as our Y3 boys gathered in the café bar to discover their new topic for the term. Mrs Carrington and Mr Whitbread challenged the boys to work out the topic from the foods they were about to try.
Their tasting menu (which looked and tasted amazing) included feta salad with tzatziki, houmous and pita bread, chicken souvlaki and loukoumades (golden balls of fried dough bathed in a sweet syrup). After the “fantastic food”, prepared by our school chefs, was eaten, the boys offered plenty of intelligent guesses, with both Morocco and Turkey suggested and even the idea of ‘diversity’ as all the food was so wonderfully different in taste. The correct answer, which many of the boys figured out, was, of course, Greece!
Over the coming weeks, the boys can look forward to exploring all things Greek. There will be plenty to cover, from the Olympics to tourism, geography to gods and goddesses, drama to democracy. Boys are also set to enjoy trips to the British Museum and Bedford’s own Archimedes Screw on the Embankment closer to home.
