P3/4 went to Tesco on Thursday. We didn’t go to do our shopping though. We actually went to learn more about where our food comes from. We got to spend time in 5 different departments and do some tasks at each one. In the bakery we got to see how they make bread. We also got to make our own little bread rolls which were then delivered to the school at the end of the day! We went behind the scenes to see where they store all the food before it goes on the shelves. We got to go inside the massive fridge and freezer too. The freezer was -21C which was very cold! We went to the cheese counter. We got to try different cheese. Even if we didn’t think we liked cheese we all tasted at least one. In the fruit and veg department we learnt about how different fruit and vegetables grow. We had to find a rainbow of fruit and vegetables. We got try lots of different fruit including strawberries, kiwi, pineapple, mango and sharon fruit. We all tried at least one new fruit we had never eaten before. The last department was the fishmongers. Here we got to learn about different fish and shellfish which we can eat. We got to hold them and see what they felt like.

We had a great day!
