The journey from beans to bar

For this activity we needed to do a diagram showing the journey from the cocoa beans to the chocolate bar.

Word Map

 This is the second chocolate activity. For this activity we had to chose one of the words given (I chose consumer), We then had to add our definition and how it relates to chocolate. The other thing we had to do was add an image of your words. I chose someone consuming Doritos.

Chocolate on the map

This week T1's reading task was all about chocolate. Here was our first activity.

The chart below shows the two main groups of countries involved in making and using chocolate.

1. The consumers: The people who buy and eat the chocolate

2. The producers: The countries that grow the cocoa plants that chocolate is made from

Top chocolate consuming countries	Top cocoa producing countries
Switzerland	Ivory Coast
Germany	Ghana
Belgium	Indonesia
Austria	Nigeria
Ireland	Brazil
United Kingdom	Cameroon
USA	Malaysia

Part 1: Google My Map

1. Create a new Google My Map. Use this introduction to help you.

2. Give your my map the title: Chocolate on the Map.

3. Write a brief description of what your map shows e.g This map shows the location of the top producers of cocoa and the top consumers of chocolate in the world.

4. On your google my map pin each of the above countries.  

5. Use blue markers for consumers and red markers for producers.  

6. Add a picture and a fact about each of the countries to your pin.

Part 2: Reflection

Now that you have marked all of your countries, take a look at your map and answer the following question.

1. What does this map show us about where cocoa is produced and where the product chocolate is eaten? The poorer countries grow the cocoa and the richer countries consume it. All the countries that grow cocoa are close to the equator

2. Why do you think this is? Give as many reasons as you can.

Area - Cocoa can only grow within 20 degrees north and south of the equator.

Money - People who grow cocoa only profit between $0.50 and $0.84 a day. Richer people will want the normal wage of about $20 an hour. This is why the poorer countries grow cocoa.

3. Which countries do you think benefit the most from the production of chocolate?

I think the countries that profit the most are the ones who use the cocoa to make chocolate or the ones who eat the chocolate. Both Switzerland and Ghana would profit.

4. Why do you think this is? Give as many reasons as you can.

As stated above I said the ones who consume the chocolate and the ones that make it.

Reading - flower parts

As one of our reading create tasks we had to make a model of a flower and all its parts. I drew mine. Even if I can not draw. At first I was not sure what type of flower to draw but then I decided to draw that one.

Dear Mrs Nickerson




I am Mr Daniels, your daughter Ally Nickerson’s teacher. I am writing to you to inform you how smart your daughter is. I did this test with over 100 students and she was the only one who managed to get the correct answer. This test was where I gave them a box and asked them what was inside. It was two glue sticks taped to two sides though. This confused everyone else but Ally managed to get this correct.




I have also found out from another student that Ally is amazing at art. You have such a talented daughter.




I feel very privileged to have Ally in my class.




Yours sincerely




Mr Daniels

Fish in a tree - ABC poem

 We have been reading fish in a tree. This time we could choose what activity we did I decided to make an                                                                                            ABC poem about Ally in fish in a tree.

Letter to Ally

We have been reading the book fish in a tree. As part of the activities we are doing around the book we had to write a letter to Ally and give her some advice. Here is my letter.

Dear Ally

I am Molly and I hope that you will read my whole letter.

I think that you should trust your new teacher and tell him the truth. Then he might read the words for books and things out loud to you. He also might be able to teach you. Why don’t you turn over a new leaf.

Have you thought of maybe talking to your mum about your problems? I know you think she doesn’t care but really she does.

I hope you take my advice and talk to someone.

Yours sincerely

Molly

Fish in a tree - About Ally

This term my class s reading the book fish in a tree. So far we are on chapter 6 and have  a good idea of the book and all the characters. The book is about a girl could Ally and she does't really fit in. I have made a drawing of words that describe Ally as well as an avatar which I believe looks like her.

Kids lit

 On Tuesday my school participated in the Kids Lit competition. I had never participated 

before and it was so fun.  My dad was watching and in the parents questions he won a 

book. I am currently reading that book and am so occupied in it. My team did really well 

and ended up 3rd. In the round we jokered we got all the questions right so instead of 

getting 10 points we got 20.

women equal voting rights? 1867
