Our children had a marvellous time at the Mayan Monkey Chocolate factory, as part of our IPC unit ´Food´. The children learned lots of interesting facts about how chocolate is made and found out all about the cacao plant with its pods and seeds. Next, it was into the factory for a chocolate tasting session, dark, milk or white…yummy. Now it was decision time, each child made two bars of their own, and selected from various ingredients that they wanted for the toppings. The children then enjoyed snack and storytime in the sunshine, whilst the chocolate set. Such an exciting trip and all the children took home their chocolate, in packets they designed themselves. Delicious!
