This morning we have had a go at challenging ourselves with some maths problems. These tasks require determination but with a little bit of perseverance the children were able to problem solve their way through! Just a bit of trial and error to get to the solutions!
What a “choco-tastic” day we had at Norton Junior School! Our halls were filled with the most divine aromas as we welcomed two wonderful representatives from Doncaster College for an unforgettable Chocolate Workshop. All 120 children became master chocolatiers for the afternoon, diving headfirst into the delicious world of cocoa to craft their very own chocolate lollies!
We didn’t just snack, though; we traveled back in time to discover how the ancient Aztecs and Mayans first valued cocoa beans as currency. From learning about the lush cacao trees of Central and South America to understanding the “more cacao, less sweet” mantra of experts like Hotel Chocolat, our budding chefs learned that chocolate is a true global treasure.
We even debated the great mystery: is white chocolate actually chocolate? (Spoiler: without those cocoa solids, it’s technically a confectionary imposter!) . Whether it was dark, milk, or ruby, the smiles on the children’s faces proved that chocolate truly is the ultimate mood enhancer. A massive thank you to Doncaster College for helping us make such sweet memories!
Today, the children in Year 3 had a chocotastic time creating their own chocolate lollies! They also learnt all about the history of chocolate, heard about some different chocolate flavours and decorated their own lovely creations!

Our new library is finally complete! A huge thank you to the very talented artist, Monisha Rockett, who has done a splendid job of painting an amazing Lorax-themed mural on the walls and FONCA for supporting / coordinating the project. We’re sure you’ll agree, the final result is amazing!
With Usborne’s contribution, the final total to spend on books for NIS and NJS from the Ready Steady Read event is an incredible £6020!
Thank you for all your support as always and have a great Christmas!
