What Teachers say…
Working with Kerry Witt was an absolute delight. She joined our Year 4 class as part of our study of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and from the moment she arrived her expertise and enthusiasm lit up the room.
Kerry took the children on a magical journey from where the cocoa bean begins its life right through to the fascinating science of tempering chocolate. Every step was hands‑on, engaging and pitched perfectly for curious young learners. Her warmth, energy and genuine passion for her craft made the experience unforgettable and the children were captivated from start to finish.
The session was not only educational but full of delight. Kerry’s ability to connect with the pupils, spark excitement and make complex processes accessible was exceptional. And of course the scrumptious chocolates were a huge hit with everyone.
I’d highly recommend Kerry to any school or organisation looking for a creative enriching workshop. We’ll definitely be booking again next year.
