One of our Health and Wellbeing targets this term is to learn more about where our food comes from. This week we went on two trips as part of the 'Farm to Fork' initiative being run by Tesco.
On Thursday we got the bus through to Argo's Bakery in Stromness. We were shown around by Shane and he explained the different products they make and how they do it.
Post a comment to explain what you saw, what you did and what you got to taste!
Thanks very much to Kirsty and Mrs Wragg for coming with us.
On Friday we went to Tesco and Kasia showed us round and had lots of activities for us to do.
It was interesting to see that the products come from all over the world for us to buy. They stock many of Argo's products from Stromness alongside fruit and vegetables from Brazil and the Netherlands! Why is it important for customers to be able to see where the products come from?
Post a comment to explain what you learned from our trip to Tesco.
Thanks very much to Moira and Mrs Jackson for coming with us and to Carrie who came in to tell us about the bakery on her day off!
We are very fortunate to be able to spend lots of time out and about learning in different environments. Some of the class are really good at listening, taking part appropriately and asking great questions. Unfortunately, every time one of the adults was talking to the class on our trips, some children had to be asked to be quiet and listen. It is VERY important that we all show respect to people who are giving up their time for us. I hope to see an improvement in this.
I liked the fuge and the biskits. p5 alfie
ReplyDeleteThe trip to argos was fun I liked having a shot of making the biscuitds. Waching the people making the fudge made me hungry. by .
ReplyDeleteIn the first set of photos we were at Argo's Bakery in Stromness. While we were there we got cut out three pieces of biscuit dough and then we got to eat them. We also got to see how fudge was made as well. After that trip we went to Tesco and saw were some fruit came from. Then we got to taste cheese and bread with cheese in it another type of bread.

I loved seeing the fudge being made and I liked making the biscuits. We got a hot dog roll and a stick of fudge when we left the Argo's bakery. The next day we went to Tesco's and while we were there we got to try some cheese there was loads and loads of different types and different types of bread. I loved the fruit they gave us and I liked doing the challenges. We did different challenges on one challenge we had to find out where the fruit and vegetables. At the end we got to go in to the freezer and the fridge it was really cold and we got to go up stairs in Tesco's I loved being up stairs because I'd never been there before. It was fun and I hope we do it again some time. By Scott
ReplyDeleteI really liked going to Tesco and Argos because in Argos we got to go to see how fudge was made , we tried cutting the shapes for bare biscuits and we got peedie bags with a sausage roll and 3 pieces of fudge. In Tesco my favourite parts were trying the tasty cheese but I didn't like the blue cheese and the mango and ginger types. We also got to go to the storing area and upstairs were we got another little bag of goodies. Kalle P5

a few weeks ago we visited Argo's bakery as our health and wellbeing food part of our project . First we went to see where the biscuits are made and we all got a turn of using the cookie cutter. Next we went to see the fudge getting wrapped and ready to sell. After that we got to try a biscuit and it was delicious . Before we went away we got a piece of fudge and a roll.

ReplyDeleteA few weeks ago we went to Tesco and Argo's for our farm to fork project with ms linklater . kasia was a boig help she planned the trip to argo's and gave us a tour of Tesco. My mum ( Caroline Thomson ) came in to tell us about the bakery we got little hats so none of our hair would get on any of the products we did the same at argo's but we wore hair nets. At argo's we saw biscuts being made and we made our own too. We alsosaw fudge being poured into squares and after they poured it they cut it into smaller squares. My favourite part was when I saw my mum at Tesco working and everyone enjoyed it it was great fun!
ReplyDeleteAt Tesco we saw things behind the big doors and in the bakery. We even got to go in the oven in the bakery! The freezer was to cold that we could only put our arms in it, but we got to go in the fridge. The things that Tesco doesn't need in it are behind tall cages so if someone knew what they wanted they would just have to ask someone that works there if they could get it. after we went into a room that had fruit on the table. When we were about to go we got bags with a certificate, a sweetie, raisins and a drink.
ReplyDeleteIt was fun because we got to find out all about where fruit came from like oranges strawberrys. and we got to try some CHEESE like smoked cheese green cheese Orkney cheese lam cheese cow cheese.and we got to go to the bakery and then at the top we got to get some fruit and my tooth fell out. by kieran
ReplyDeleteAt Argo's Bakery I saw 4 big ovens. We got to taste biscuts. At Tesco I learnt what is behind the doors. I learnt where to look to see what country it from. I learnt where they store all there food that can not fit on the shelf.

It was fun to see all around Tesco and Argos bakery I learned loads about where my food came from. it was fun getting to make bare biscuits and shaping it with the cutter . At Tesco we got to go upstairs and in the freezer and fridge the freezer was - 16 degrees and the fridge was 2 degrees. We where testing different cheeses like Wenslydale and Orkney smoked cheddar and blue cheese and more different cheeses my favourite was Orkney cheddar .We where finding different products and finding out stuff like the weight ,the amount it costs and other details about the product also where it came from because some customers might only like products from Spain or from UK from Keira p5
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed the Argos bakery and the Tesco trips. In the first 4 pictures we are at Argos bakery I the first photo we got to cut out the 3 biscuits each. On the 2nd photo we are watching the fudge getting shaped. The 3rd and 4th is us watching the fudge kettle being poured and into the little trays and the fudge being shaped. On the Tesco trip in the first photo we are looking for fruits and veg and looking for what country its from. In the 2 last photos we are in the bakery having some bread and we got to go in the big oven when it was off. Zoe P5
ReplyDeleteThanks for all of your comments. Just think...some of the biscuits you helped to make are for sale somewhere right now...or maybe they have been eaten already!
