Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

 

This term we are learning about Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. As part of our topic we learned about Fair Trade. The class took part in a chocolate trade challenge. Each group was responsible for an aspect of the chocolate production. 

2 cocoa bean farmers 

2 chocolate manufacturers 

2 supermarkets 

2 shoppers 

We learned that Fair Trade farmers were treated better than non Fair Trade farmers. They were guaranteed a good price for their beans which allowed them to support their family e.g. by sending their children to school.
