Tasty Tesco Trip!

After a long walk in the cold wind and sunshine, Green class arrived at Tesco, Aston. We were met by the Community Champion Mark who showed us upstairs into the training room to begin our Farm to Fork trail.  Our morning started with a  health and safety talk and then we split into two groups to explore the store. One group headed off to the bakery and the other to the fish and cheese counters.

We learnt lots of interesting information about the food in each department and also we got to sample lots of cheeses, fruits and tiger bread. Green class found out that our fruit and vegetables comes in a rainbow of colours and  from a wide range of countries around the world, even as far away as Guatemala!

Have a look at some of the many pictures from our day. Do you think we had fun?
