I’ve been teaching my Grade 6 geography class about the Inuit, and while in Hosur last weekend bought some sugar cubes and Maida flour to make ‘igloos’ with ’snow’. The kids loved it. More than I realized. At a certain point, partially through the proceedings, it seemed there was a deficiency in sugar cubes, which since I’d bought 3 packs of seemed a little weird. It turned out they’d been secreting them for later. I called out to the class and gradually they came out - sugar cubes from desks, sugar cubes slowly extricated from pockets, and a large miscellaneous number of casualty sugar cubes that had already been eaten. Next time I’ll have to use decoy candies of some sort…
