• The recipe for Mini Carrot Cakes contains sugar as one of its basic ingredients.


• Tell the children that the discovery in the 1600s that sugar cane grows well on the island of Barbados led directly to the development of the slave trade, and also to a rapid increase in the British economy.


• Ask the children to work on a project about the history of sugar, researching where it originated, how it came to the UK, how it became a basic part of our diet etc.


• The children may decide which is the best format for presenting the information they have researched – e.g. as a booklet, poster, factual report or personal account from the viewpoint of a slave or a slave master.
