Topic

Topic Year 4

Most people agree that chocolate is delicious but where does chocolate come from? Did you

know that it takes two to four days to make a chocolate bar and cacao beans were once so

valuable that they were used as currency. Ready to find out more about this favourite

sweet treat?

The Big Question

Do all children love chocolate?

Select one or more activity from the menu below :

Have a look at the storyboard and watch the links about how chocolate is made. Then imagine you are a cocoa bean. Describe your journey in any way that you would like.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/newsround/18778746

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZtMfiWDQHT8

These children think so differently about chocolate.

Do you remember melting chocolate in science? Try

melting a bar of chocolate (you will need an adult to

help you) and change its shape into something else.

Try pouring the melted chocolate to make a picture

or a sculpture.

After cooling, and the liquid chocolate has changed

back into a solid, you can eat it!

You could send in some pictures of your brownies to

Imagine that you are Williy Wonka. Using the design

sheet, create a new chocolate bar.

This chocolate is

great!

Chocolate is really

not that great.

What does this sign mean?

Look at page 4. What do you think about chocolate now?

Why?


I also have to carry the sacks full of

cocoa beans (weighing 30kg) to

the waiting lorries. I have no idea

what happens to the beans once

they leave on the lorries. I do this

everyday.

Hi, I’m Jean. I cannot go to school as I have

to start work on the cocoa farm at 8am. I

must cut down the cocoa fruit and remove

the beans. I do this everyday until it gets

too dark. I must work so that my family can

eat.


Weekly Art project:

Chocolate design

This week you’ll be thinking all about chocolate! For your Art

project we would like you to design your own chocolate bar. First

you’ll need to think about your wrapper, how will it make people

want to buy it? Then move on to draw your chocolate bar. What

will make it special? Will it have different flavour? A special

texture or a surprise filling? Get creative!
