Chocolate Day
For the entrance of the new Year 4 topic we invited chocolate by design to come and share their expert information with us. They told us all about where chocolate came from, how it is made, how to find the healthiest chocolate and most excitedly we tempered chocolate. They created a Chocolate Pizza Bake Off, which was very fun, we used our design skill and then had to use white chocolate to write our team name on the front. Finally Mr Capewell and Mrs Burden judged to find a winner. The winners were awarded with yummy chocolate bars created by Chocolate by Design!
