Hi Matthew,
ReplyDeleteRuby here from the Summer Learning Journey team! It's great to see that you've been working on these activities. Keep it up! :)
Chocolate is delicious. Great choice as your favourite food! And it's great that you have told us what things you use to make chocolate.
Do you have any favourite recipes you use chocolate for? I like to make chocolate cheesecake and also chocolate chip cookies. My Dad says that it's not worth baking if there's no chocolate in it!
I look forward to reading more of your blog over summer.
Cheers,
Ruby.
