After spending the last few weeks finding out about the Mayans, rainforests and plants, there was only one place we could visit – The Eden Project. The children had to complete a Chocology workshop. This involved finishing out about the history of chocolate before entering the rainforest biome to hunt for hidden treasure chests that…
