We have had a great first day back in Years 3 and 4. Our new expedition title is: From Bean to Bar. The guiding question our children will be answering is: What’s the cost of a bar of chocolate? Instead of simply considering the financial cost of a bar of chocolate, we will be working closely around ‘Fairtrade’ and looking at how farmers in equatorial countries are supported by the ‘Fairtrade’ foundation.
The children played a ‘Catchphrase’ style of game to work out the expedition title and guiding question – well done to Alec in 4H who used the clues on the screen to solve our conundrum first!
This afternoon we became chocolate connoisseurs by tasting a range of different ‘Fairtrade’ chocolate products. We have been considering the appearance, aroma, taste and texture of these different chocolates so that we can produce our own chocolate ‘bark’ later in the term.
