            DOES CHOCOLATE GROW ON TREES?

Believe it or not chocolate does grow on trees.

Chocolate grows on the cacao tree close to the equator. Cacao pods have a very sweet mush in them that is called the pulp. All the pulp is thrown away just the beans are kept. The beans get dried just in the sun.

The dried beans get sent to a factory. The beans are roasted in hot drums that make’s the taste and smell of the chocolate. The beans don’t burn because they spin really fast.

Next the beans are crushed into a gooey mess. After that the rest of the ingredients are added to make the chocolate.

White chocolate has more cocoa butter. Dark chocolate has more cocoa which makes it bitterer. Milk chocolate has both in it.

Last of all the chocolate gets wrapped and sent to shops to get sold People then  go to buy chocolate from different shops.

CLEANING THE FRONT SHELVES                          

Every day five minutes   before the bell rings I go up to the front of the class and clean the front shelves

First Micayla and I put the rubbish in the bin.Then we put books and paper back in their places on the shelf. After that we find all whiteboard pens and put them back in the container.

Next we ask Mrs Reddy if it looks good enough. If she is not happy we do more work and if she is we sit down and wait for further instructions. It feels good to keep our room tidy.
Last of all I clean up around my group and sit down. Soon it’s time for prayers.
The bell rings and I am ready to go home -  happy to come back to a clean room the following day to learn in.
