Chocolate Project
This week the whole school project is all about Chocolate. The project aims to provide opportunities for your child to learn about the history of chocolate, where in the world it comes from and to use their Maths, English and Science skills . You can take the project in any direction you wish, you can write down your research, make chocolate cake, create things using your Art and DT skills, create a project book, PowerPoint or even film a chocolate advert.
Below are some ideas to get you started but the world is your oyster!

Some ideas to get you started.
