Field Trip

Field Trip

This week we went out on a fact finding mission to two markets and Topps Supermarket in central Plaza. The purpose of the visit was to find as many different healthy foods as possible. We bought some of these foods and ate them in class.Some of the fruits like a pomegranate and pomello the children had never tasted before. The children also found out about the contents box on each food packet. It tells us how much sugar and fats are in a food.

We talked about the differences and similarities between the local markets and Topps supermarket. The children were able to realize why food was more expensive at Topps than the local markets. However when the students were asked where they would like to shop..they all said they would like to shop at Topps because it was cleaner and "more beautiful."

Our Great swimming Team

The children were happy to once again get into the water to work with Mr. Xavi.

English

The children are learning the skills needed to be able to show that they understand the stories that they read. 

Unit Of Inquiry

This week after going on our field trip, the students had fun with a new application called "Flip Grid." It allows the children to video themselves and comment on each others videos. They were given the task of explaining what they field trip was all about and what they learned, then on a separate video they had to explain what the "Food Pyramid" is used for.
