Field Trip to "A Chapa"

A Chapa

As part of our investigation into How the World Works, PYP 2 students went on a field trip to learn more about production processes and about the chain, from production to consumption. 

At "A Chapa", they saw a machine that grinds meat and were able to make their own burger patties. They watched the patties being grilled and tasted the burgers they made themselves. Then, they learnt a pancake recipe, watched Mr. Germano making it and tried pancakes with maple syrup. 

Finally the students visited their kitchen.They saw all the machinery used to help the cooks make their delicious food and went into the storage room, where all the ingredints used to make their meals are kept. One of the highlights of trip was seeing the freezers filled with french fries, onion rings, bread and ice cream.

Back at school, we talked about what they have learnt from their latest field trip and made comparissons with their previous experiences at "Bauducco". It has been an amazing Unit of Inquiry, filled with new information, hands on activities and children engagement. 

Take a look at the amazing moments captured there...

We would like to thank all the parents involved in making this Unit so interesting and engaging for our students.
