On Monday P 5/4 were lucky enough to be invited ‘backstage’ into our local Bathgate Tesco store. Our topic this term has been ‘Farm to Fork’ and during our visit we were learning about where the food that we eat comes from and how it ends up in the store. While we were at the store we were given the opportunity to make some of our own bread, try some exotic fruits and cheese and we also held some fish. We learned lots of information about where all of the food comes from and where it is stored when it is in the store. We all had a fantastic day and these are some of our favorite highlights of the trip.

Jack – ‘Trying the different types of cheese and I liked the pineapple.’

Sara – ‘We got to hold some fish.’

Derek – ‘When we got to try all the different kinds of fruit.’

Cara -‘Getting to go into the staff room.’

Summer S -‘I liked going into the fridge and freezers, it was freezing.’

Kirsty – ‘Everything that we learned about Farm to Fork.’

Amy -Leigh – ‘When we went into the bakery, because we got to see what they do to make bread.’

Aaron – ‘I liked holding a little squid.’

Summer B – ‘We got to try lots of different types of fruit and where they all came from.’

Last Thursday P 5/4 took part in an organised Judo event being held in the school.

Alfie – ‘I liked it when you had to try and steal each others chicken nuggets.’

Sara – ‘It was very fun.’

Jack – ‘It was fun when you had to try get your partner.’

Amy- Leigh – ‘I enjoyed learning something new.’

Jordan – ‘It was fun and it was a good experience and I really liked it.’

Last week Primary 5/4 were learning about their topic Farm to Fork.

They tried some cucumber that Freya had brought into the class from her Granddad’s allotment.

Some of the children had a chance to peel some of the cucumber and we all got to try some and thought it was very yummy!

We also learned about the life cycle of a chick and used our fingers to paint the life cycle.

Over the next few weeks we will continue with our topic Farm to Fork and have an exciting trip to Tesco planned.
