In the last few weeks, we have thought a lot about chocolate- But where did chocolate come from? When was the first chocolate bar made? Which country did chocolate come from? This week I would like you to find out about the history of chocolate. 

- First create a brainstorm of everything you would like to know. (Write down all the questions you would like to answer)

- Read the timeline of information in the PowerPoint below. 

- Use a search engine to find facts our about the history of chocolate. 

- Present your findings in a way that you would like, you could create a poster, a video, a leaflet- it's up to you. 

- Treat yourself by asking your adults if you can make a Mayan hot chocolate.
