On Thursday 3rd April year 4 went on a fabulous trip to Cadbury World, as in topic we will be learning all about chocolate. First we excitedly boarded the coach, which raced towards the factory in Bournville. When we arrived we all walked sensibly (even though we were all anxious to get inside the purple building). Adventurously, year 4 clambered up the rigid stairs, while more visitors ran inside.
After that we all had a quick snack that was so delicious all though everyone had something different. Then we all sped carefully, inside the busy, colossal building; we walked to the mind blowing Aztec Jungle exhibition. Then we journeyed to Europe where we learned about how Hernan Cortez brought cocoa to Europe. As we continued on our quest we learned the story of John, and his sons George and Richard Cadbury. Next we discovered where cocoa originates. It travels from Africa (Ghana) by boat to a factory in Britain where the process begins. Then we went to see how the Dairy Milk bar was made.
We were all excited as we arrived at the popular Cadabra ride. Next, year 4 designed their own chocolate using different toppings. Mr Setchell asked politely but firmly for triple jelly babies and he got them! By this time we were starving, luckily it was lunch time!
After
lunch Curtis, a chocolatier, spoke to us in more detail about the process of
chocolate making and dressed Sadie as a factory worker. Finally
we sleepily trudged back to the coach for our journey back to school.
Year 4
had a phenomenal trip and we are all looking forward to our topic on chocolate.
