What is typically included on our school trips
KS3/4 Workshop:
WW1: Chocolate Home and Away
This workshop investigates the surviving ‘chocolate letters’ sent to and from York servicemen, serving on the front line during the First World War. With cross-curricular links to Geography, Religious Studies, and English, students will explore how the gift of chocolate helped to keep wartime spirits high, both at home and on the frontline, how the city’s famous Quaker chocolate companies offered their support to the war effort, and how chocolate manufacturing changed forever after 1918.
KS2 Workshop:
Meet the Mayas - The Original Chocolatiers
This workshop has been designed to complement the new history curriculum; ‘a study of a non-European Society that provides contrasts with British History’. Pupils will enjoy a fully interactive session, with the opportunity to create their very own version of the Xocolat drink. There are further cross curricular links to Geography and Mathematics.
KS1/2 Workshop:
Adventures in the Chocolate Factory
This session is designed to develop the speaking, listening, and comprehension skills of your students, giving them the opportunity to work creatively with others. We will explore some of the key ideas and popular characters in the book by creating a story wall, designing our own addition to his famous factory in a group work exercise, and even having a go at making something from the imagination of Mr. Wonka himself!
KS2 Workshop:
Changing States with Chocolate
This interactive workshop offers children the opportunity to explore the properties of solid and liquid chocolate as a material, play an interactive game to understand the irreversible and reversible changes in the bean to bar process, and appreciate the importance of tempering in chocolate-making.
KS2/3/4 Workshop:
The Next Big Thing
This workshop will explore the unique selling point, target market, and packaging design of some of York’s most iconic confectionery products to uncover the secret to their enduring success. Discover the history and appeal of chocolate truffles and have a go at making some by hand. Using York’s brand as inspiration, pupils will work in teams to design, market, and pitch a new chocolate product; the ‘Next big thing’ to the market. The winning team will leave with a prize hand made by the York’s Chocolate Story team of Chocolatiers.
