I scream, You scream...

We all scream for Ice Cream!!

Year 5 had a chilly time in Winchester at the Top Secret Headquarters of Jude's Ice Cream...

There, Jude herself and husband Theo took us through the highly secretive process of making frozen confectionery for discerning clients all over Hampshire, the rest of the UK, cruise ships and even Dubai!

It's more complicated than you might think... (You should ask your children about the special feature of the hairnets...!)

Our tour of the factory included the manufacturing rooms and the big walk-in storage freezers!

And why are we going to an Ice Cream factory, you may ask?! Well, it's all part of our Apprentice-Style Team-Working Entrepreneurial Business Project...

We are working together in groups to create a brand new business - plans, budgets, product development, marketing etc. We're using cloud-based systems (G Suite) to share our plans in our group and work on them collaboratively... And when we're done, Jude herself will be coming to school to judge the winners...

A brilliant time was had by everyone and both Jude and Theo said how much they love Oakwood coming to the factory!
