Year 4: Health Week AND Chocolate topic!

During Health Week, each year group was given a country to focus on. We have been looking at the United States of America. This fitted in well because in Design Technology we have been creating our own healthy chocolate bars as part of our Chocolate topic. In Science and PSHE and ICT, we discovered that sugar is highly addictive. This might explain why some sources we researched said over 70 million people in the USA are obese (this means dangerously overweight).

So, we designed and made chocolate bars that had less chocolate and more healthy ingredients in its place. It was great to be able to use of lot of what we had learned from our trip to Cadbury World. In Art and Design, we created packaging. In ICT, we wrote and developed animatics for TV ads that promoted our new chocolate brands by using the GarageBand and iMovie apps.

Overall, we decided that while we all loved chocolate, we have a responsibility to ourselves and to society not to eat too much of it! Check out some of our final products below . . .
