"Our LCVP Class planned to go to Caffrey's Chocolate Warehouse as part of our LCVP course. After our trip we would complete a Summary Report about it. All of the 5th and 6th years LCVP students met up in the school reception and the roll was called. All the students and two teachers got on the bus and we began our journey.
We had
great fun all together on the bus journey by singing and having great chats. At
around 11am we reached Caffrey's Chocolate Warehouse, in Walkinstown. We waited
in the reception area for a roll call. There was Willy Wonka music playing in
the background and the scene was beautiful.
We were
led into a room with a big TV and were greeted by our speaker Mary. She showed
us a DVD on how chocolate is produced. None of us realised there was that much
effort put in to making chocolate! Our speaker passed around a massive bar of
chocolate for us all to feel the weight of it, and it was really, really heavy!
We wanted to take it home with us, but we were told it was very plain and
bitter. After the DVD we were given time to ask questions. The speaker answered
all of our questions.
We were
taken to the factory, and beside it was an exhibit of Umpa Lumpa's and
chocolate fountains. It was almost like we were in the Willie Wonka movie.
After this we were shown a short demonstration of how chocolate Easter eggs
were made and how the eggs are decorated.
We were
then allowed to decorate our own chocolate and we all found this really fun and
enjoyed it. Mrs Leahy took some lovely photos of us all having fun.
Overall it was a great experience and we all grew closer as a class. We will all remember our trip to Caffrey's Chocolate Warehouse and all the chocolates we decorated. We would recommend any LCVP class to visit the Chocolate Warehouse as we learnt a lot about how a large business operates."
Well done Alisha and Abigael.
