Students learn how chocolate is made
GEOGRAPHY never tasted so good.
Students from Brooksbank School, Elland, sold Fairtrade chocolate, juice and raisins at breaks and lunchtimes as part of their Ghana school link.
John Campbell, head of geography, said: "The chocolate project is about the chocolate industry from cocoa bean to supermarket shelf.
"Students explore how chocolate is made, how profits are shared and how Fairtrade products support small producers."
The Fairtrade chocolate stall ran for three weeks and was a big hit with students at break and lunchtimes.
About 70 took turns to run the stall.
Two teachers from the Oriens Complex School in Ghana have been on a week-long visit to the school.
