Year 3 Visit to Tesco

Lesson: Science

Class: Year 3 Year: 2017 - 2018

What a fabulous time we have had at Tesco! Have a look at our gallery to see what we got up to.

As part of our science topic, Year 3 visited the Tesco store in Chester and took part in a Farm to Fork Trail. They learnt about the importance of healthy eating and how we can make healthy good choices. First, the children took part in a fruit and vegetable colour hunt. Then, we visited the sugar aisle to learn where sugar comes from and how much we should eat in a day. Did you know children should have no more than 6 cubes of sugar and adults should have no more than 7?

After that, we went in the warehouse and tasted lots of healthy snacks that we could haveto reduce the amount of sugar we eat. We tasted prunes, wraps, carrot sticks, cucumber, cream cheese, sunflower seeds and tzatziki. Next, the children visited the cereal aisle so that they could predict and measure the amount of sugar in some of our favourite cereals. We were shocked to see so much sugar in most of the cereals. Finally, we used selected some low sugar ingredients to make our own breakfast cereal to take home. 

Thank you to Mrs Jenson, Mrs Wood, Clive's mum, Abby's mum and Liam's mum for coming along and helping with our visit.
