Cadburys World

On 19th November, Year 3 went on a brilliant visit to Cadbury World. A member of the Cadbury team delivered a talk and we learnt about where chocolate comes from, how it is made and how chocolate is marketed in different packaging. Some of us even dressed up as a factory worker. We enjoyed tasting warm chocolate and the 4D cinema was a great experience.
