Ola's chocolate bar starts as a cocoa pod on a farm. Then it travels in steps until it reaches a shop.

Watch me

The cocoa grows on a farm.

A ship carries the beans to another country.

A factory turns them into a bar.

Is Kit right? Write why.

E Think deeper3 min

Answers, and what a wrong one tells you

A

1. stormy Sunny means happy and cloudy means a bit low. Cross is a strong feeling, like a storm. Ask your child which feeling is strongest.

2. Look for: Says a warm winter coat is a need. A coat keeps your child warm and safe in winter, so it is a need. Ask: could you manage without it in the cold?

3. save Lose and give do not fit between earning and spending. Ask your child what a person does with money they keep for later.

B

1. Factory A garden does not make chocolate. Ask your child which place makes the bar before it reaches the shop.

2. Farm

C

1. Shop

2. Tea farm

3. Ship

4. Farm → grows the cocoa; Ship → carries the beans; Factory → makes the bar; Shop → sells the bar to you

D

1. Look for: Says Kit is wrong, because the cocoa farmer gets only a small part of the money from each bar. Kit thinks the farm keeps most of the money. Trace the chain with your child. The shop, the factory and others each take a share, so the farmer gets a small part.

E

1. Look for: Names one sensible use, such as a school, clean water or equipment, and gives a reason it helps.

Words to use

Say“Trace the bar's journey with your finger. Who is at the very start, and who gets only a small part of the money?”

Instead of“That is easy, you should already know this.”

After the sheet

Look at two food packets at home together and find any Fairtrade Mark. Talk about who might have grown the food and how far it travelled.

Tick what your child got right in StudyDen. Anything missed comes back in a later Look back box, so there's no need to redo the sheet.
