Year 2 Back To Back Houses Visit
Year 2 have been learning about Birmingham in the past and visited the Back to Back houses to find out about the way of life during Victorian times. The children dressed up as Victorians and were taught how to light fires, wash clothes and were given a tour around the houses which they thoroughly enjoyed.
Year 6 Cadbury World Visit
On Thursday 3rd of February, Year 6 went to Cadbury World to learn more about chocolate, which was our topic. First we went through a door, which led us to a small room which taught us about where cocoa beans came from. This room was dark and only had a small amount of light.
Then we moved around the factory and went to another small room where we saw some people talking about how the chocolate idea came up. We had to go to another theatre, which taught us a little bit about how chocolate was made. Whenever the Professor said what would happen to the cocoa beans (such as mix together) the benches what we were sitting on would do the same (vibrate).
After that room, we went to find out about our favourite chocolate. My partner chose ‘Roses’. We then went up the stairs and we smelt luscious, delicious chocolate. We saw it being mixed, and it smelt marvellous. Then eventually went to a room with cool effects. My favourite one was where you take a picture and it would turn into a chocolate statue.
Soon after we went on the Cadbury ride. It went very slow, but it was really cool. Next, we went into a room where we could mix our chocolate with fillings, such as popcorn, wine gums, rice crispies, and many more. We went to eat them outside on the benches. When we finished our chocolate it was time to go home.
Below are some photos of our visit to Cadbury World.
