The history of chocolate

We’ve had our first taste of chocolate today!

The PTA were kind enough to pay for an extra chocolate workshop so that we could look at the history of chocolate, how it’s made and the links to ‘Fair Trade’. We learned all about how the Aztecs used chocolate, though found out that there is evidence that chocolate has been around for 4000 years!

We also made links to our ‘Global view’ and looked at how we can help farmers earn a fair price for their cocoa harvest. We had a go at making chocolate lollies to get our tastebuds raring to go for truffle making tomorrow!
