Year 5 Chocolate Workshop

Thursday 27 January 2011

On Monday this week, we had the Minister of Chocolate visiting our class!

We learnt about loads of things in a short space of time – an excellent way to introduce our topic this term.

Children found out about the history of chocolate (all 3000+ years of it!), where it comes from, how it’s made, what sorts of chocolate are better than others and lots more.

One of the highlights for our class was doing some chocolate testing using all our 5 senses! Unfortunately, but perhaps wisely, tasting the chocolate came last of all…

Here are some photos taken, edited and selected by Bronwen.

Only a bite and it'll be gone!
