Year 7 CED: The Chocolate Factory Experience Part 2!

Last week saw 7x spend their Curriculum Enrichment Day doing the Chocolate Factory Experience! Just like 7Y did back in January, which you can read about here, students took on their own roles in the factory gaining experience in 4 different areas: making the chocolates in Food, making the origami boxes in Product Design, making the labels in Textiles and the promotional key ring in Resistant Materials.

Students did a fantastic job and many Employee of the Day awards were handed out. Here are some pictures of the boxes created throughout the day:

Well done to all who took part, and we are so glad to hear students enjoyed themselves so much. We look forward to doing this again with next year's year 7 groups too!

Year 7 CED: The Chocolate Factory Experience

Last week, 7y spent their Curriculum Enrichment Day experiencing batch production by working in a chocolate factory in D&T! There were 4 stations throughout the day: making the chocolates in Food, making the origami boxes in Product Design, making the labels in Textiles and making a promotional key ring in Resistant Materials.

All students were responsible for one area of the production line to end up with a batch of over 100 chocolate boxes by the end of the day. Some students even took on extra responsibilities to work as managers and quality control inspectors during the process!

They all did a fantastic job, with some students earning an "Employee of the Day" certificate for their exceptional efforts or performance.

Here is an example of the finished product that was created by 7y using batch production:

Well done to all, and we look forward to doing this with 7x on the next CED in March!

Year 7 CED - Life is a Beach

During a 'baking' hot CED week, Year 7 made and iced some fabulous 'Beach' theme cakes with Mrs Johnston. The excellently high standard of finished products speak for themselves ... superb!

Well done to all of those students taking part.
