Papplewick School, Ascot | Possibly the most popular school outing for Year 4 boys from Papplewick School, Ascot, was their trip to 'Rosie’s Chocolate Factory' at Sheeplands Farm in Berkshire, on Monday, 22nd January.
The trip was part of the ‘Geography of Chocolate’ scheme of work for the Year 4 Geography course. The boys looked at the cacao bean and where it grows and studied the process of getting from 'bean to bar.' They were given the opportunity to see first-hand what goes into the production of chocolate.
The boys made a lollipop and solid bar from a choice of white, milk and dark chocolate.
Headmaster Tom Bunbury said: “Geography became a very popular subject, for the day thanks to Rosie’s Chocolate Factory!”

Rosie’s Chocolate Factory is a family-run business which uses ethically sourced beans from Ghana. In their mini-factory, skilled craftspeople use sustainably sourced ingredients to make fresh, hand-made chocolates and candies.
