• Gold Class Go To Cadbury's World

  Thu 19 Mar 2015

  Gold class have been reading the book Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Over the weeks they have designed their own chocolate bar and packaging, made adverts and golden tickets and learnt about how chocolate is made.

   

  Yesterday Gold Class headed out on a special trip to Cadbury's World in Birmingham, to say the class were excited is a big understatement!

   

  Gold class had an action packed day. They saw chocolate being in the factory. Then went to the 4D cinema to watch the chocolate making process. I heard a highlight was when the cocoa beans were being shaken, the seats shook at the same time! They made their own chocolate pots and played interactive chocolate themed games.

   

  The children really were a credit to the school and it was lovely to see them so engaged and enjoying themselves.

   

  You can see more photos of their day on their class page here
