What a fantastic trip to a local supermarket! The students looked carefully at where the fruits and vegetables were imported from or whether they were local. They questioned why some produce was more expensive than others and calculated what they could afford to buy. Once back in school, we worked out how much change we needed and continued to talk about imports and exports. Great trip and great discussions!
Then we held our very own Trading Stalls, with the students talking about needs and wants. Lots of trades were made and there were some very happy customers!
