PUPILS from St Michael’s Primary School in Figheldean were given some food for thought when they visited a local supermarket.

The visit to the Tesco store in Tidworth gave the children from class 1 the chance to find out more about how food gets to the shop shelves.

This term pupils have been learning about food. They were given a guided tour of the shop visiting the bakery, grocery and produce departments.

The youngsters spoke to staff working in the different departments and learnt about where each of the different types of food comes from.

“The trip was really interesting and helped consolidate what we have been learning in class,” said teacher, Cheryl Jackson. “All members of staff at Tesco in Tidworth were really informative and answered any questions the children had. They made each stop on the tour exciting and gave the children the opportunity to see behind the scenes.”

Watching the baker make the bread was the highlight for one pupils. The children all got a chance to try different types of food.
