It has been a productive week of real-world learning as our Year 3 and Year 5 students took their inquiries beyond the classroom and into the vibrant streets and kitchens of our community.
As part of their How We Organise Ourselves unit, our Year 3 chefs traded their notebooks for aprons this week. To better understand food production and systems, the students visited a local pizzeria to see a professional production line in action. From stretching the dough to the placement of toppings, they learned that making the perfect pizza isn't just delicious, it’s a masterclass in efficiency and organisation.
Meanwhile, Year 5 hit the pavement in Causeway Bay for their How We Express Ourselves unit. Their mission was to investigate the central idea that media can shape thinking and behavior. During their Media Walk, the children immersed themselves in the practical world of advertising to apply their newly acquired knowledge. They sharpened their critical thinking skills by focusing on different adverts and their purposes, while also identifying various pricing strategies like bundling and charm pricing in a real-world context.
It is wonderful to see our students applying their classroom knowledge to the world around them. Thank you once again to our parent volunteers who kindly gave their time to support these trips.
