Today was an exciting day as we went on a trip to purchase items. To brief about it, our survey reports showed us serving size plays a major role in minimizing food wastage in our cafeteria. We also found that second servings in particular are wasted because of the excessive amount served.
Hence after a brief discussion with the cafeteria manager the team decided to make some alterations in the serving size by changing the size of the serving ladles.
So, the team went on a trip to purchase (small sized) ladles that would suit the needs. As impulsive shoppers we climbed up few shops to find the ladles that would suit our needs and after a lot of discussions and bargains found what we want ! hooray!
This was a good opportunity for children to involve in real life money transactions. They used their communication skills along with persuasive techniques and went on to bargain with the shop keepers for the best rates. It was actually a satisfying sight for a mentor to see the children use the skills in real life. They handled the money, made the transactions and calculated the expenditures.
Wait! We are inquisitive and even when we have another task at hand we don't forget our mission- We didn't miss to notice the food wasted at the supermarket for cosmetic purposes.
And we did have our share of feeds but.. in a healthy way...
We came back with a lot of excitement and reported the same to our IB PYP co-ordinator and our Correspondent,who are the constant supporters and motivators of all our trials and activities. They were sure as happy and excited just like us !
Keep visiting for further action !
