YEAR ONE - TERM 3, 2022
How We Organise Ourselves
CENTRAL IDEA
Food goes through many stages of production before reaching us
As an International Baccalaureate world school, authorised to teach the Primary Year’s Programme, we explore six transdisciplinary themes each year.
During this unit we will discuss the stages different types of food go through from the farm where it is grown to how it looks when it reaches our plates. This unit is designed to spark curiosity in our students as they investigate and understanding more about the processes food such as cheese, bread and chocolate go through before they reach the supermarket.
We will ask students to show artefacts such as photos, pictures and models that demonstrate the different stages food goes through from farm to plate.
