Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

This year we celebrated at school the 100th anniversary of Roald Dahl. We learnt some things about his biography and we watched clips of two films based on his books, Matilda and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is the story of Charlie Bucket, a little boy that is very poor and dreams of eating chocolate. One day, he finds a golden ticket in a chocolate bar and he visits Willy Wonka's chocolate factory, the biggest chocolate factory in the world.

After watching the trailer we learnt some sweets vocabulary and talked about our favourite sweets and desserts:
