On Friday Mr Andy from Epicure came and talked to grade two about food production and distribution. We gained some valuable insight into what goes on behind the scenes at our cafeteria. Thank you Mr Andy.
In mathematics we reviewed our understanding of basic fractions. Here are some of our pizza parlour problems.
We have now had our third minecraft session to our unit. This valuable learning engagement had allowed learners to experience real life situations from farm to marketplace that Mr Matt has created for us. We can't wait for our session next week.
We completed our research into staple food crops. These are ready to present to the class. We completed some artworks on the food crops we investigated.
We loved our 'Wheat production simulation'. In this activity we were assigned roles as farmers, transporters, millers, bakers, shopkeepers, or bankers and had to work through the production process, creating, buying, and selling goods. It really helped us understand food production better and there was some fantastic mathematical thinking happening around profit margins and sales tactics!
Last week we worked in groups to present our Reader's Theatre scripts. It was fun to practice communicating confidently with the audience.
