"Farm to Fork" Tesco Experience

9th Feb 2016

Mrs Hood's class were kindly invited by Tesco's to take part in their "Farm to Fork" tour.  It was a very worthwhile and educational experience for Primary 1, 2 & 3.  We had the opportunity to explore the aisles of Tesco's for a wide variety of fresh foods, many of which the children had never seen or even heard of before.  Through a behind the scenes tour, we learned of where our food comes from and how it reaches our shelves.  We found it fascinating to find out where all the food in Tesco's is stored.  As you will see in our pictures we hand first hand experience of the large walk in fridges and freezers (no one volunteered to stay in there too long!!) We really enjoyed ourselves.... have a look through our pictures!

Megan and Zara kindly showed us around.
