From Patch to Plate: Our Potato Harvest Adventure!

FS2C put on their thinking caps and have became school changemakers

After surveying their friends and listening to everyone's ideas, they brainstormed exciting new ways to make our school day even more fun and interesting.

"What if we could cook during Arabic?"  Some friends thought it would be amazing to taste different foods and learn how to describe them in Arabic!

"What if we had gardening in the greenhome?" 

Others shared ideas about  digging, planting, and watching flowers and vegetables grow.

The class also had fantastic ideas like:

  • Reading stories under the trees
  • Having dance breaks between lessons
  • Building and creating in the classroom with recycled materials 

The best part? FS2C listened to each other's ideas, worked together in teams, and thought about how their new timetable would help them learn, play, and grow in exciting ways. And today we reimagined our lesson to be our potato harvest.
