The Greggs Factory Visit

Date: 19th Nov 2024 @ 10:04pm

Hello,

This week, the children went on a visit to the Greggs Factory. The children were very excited and couldn't wait to see how bread is made now in comparison to in London 1666.

They walked all the way to Openshaw Village which took them 45 minutes. Luckily, the weather was glorious and the sun was shining bright. The children walked around the factory and were lucky to watch how the bread dough is made, how the bread is kneaded into buns, how it is cooked and how it is packaged. They got to visit the warehouse where the ingredients were stored and watch how the ingredients are weighed and put into bags. Before they could go onto the factory floor they had to wash their hands and put on a special hat and jacket. 

After the factory tour the children returned back to the classroom where they got to meet some special characters and decorated biscuits. The children went back to school with a special Gregg's cake that hasn't even been in the Greggs shops yet!

The children were very tired but had a fantastic time! The Gregg's team were very kind and extremely helpful. 

The children were very lucky and even got to eat the cakes that they decorated! They have asked to go back soon.

Thanks

Miss Wolfenden and Miss Edey
