Dear Kaashvi, Isabella and Nadine

Despite previous reminders and explanations, the PYP exhibition padlet remains incomplete. I am concerned about our ability to meet deadlines at this pace. Please prioritize improving your time management and communication ensuring that all tasks, including reflections, are completed as soon as possible.

Thanks

When we eat and buy locally produced crops, we support the farmers who use more environmentally resources to grow their fruits and vegetables. Those farms do not use as many chemicals, pesticides and artificial fertilizers. Research says, locally produced crops reduce food miles while, imported goods could come from another country or state which means more pollution and less healthier.

This skill was very important because for things like emailing we would need to find some companies email address or for just finding information to find answers to questions for such as lines of inquiry, central idea and etc . Research was used most during our lines of inquiry to find extra bits of information to form questions.

We used our thinking skills multiple times. We used that skill when we had to think about our central idea, lines of inquiry, SDG goals and key concepts. We even used our thinking skills when we were researching as we had to create the research we found in our own words.

# data[].attributes.body
Here are a few ideas:

1. Organize a Local Market Day at School: Collaborate with local farmers and vendors to set up a mini market at your school. This could provide an opportunity for students and parents to buy local produce and learn about the benefits of supporting local agriculture directly from the growers.

2. Create an Educational Campaign: Develop posters, brochures, or a digital presentation highlighting the benefits of buying local produce, such as reducing carbon footprints, supporting local economies, and getting fresher, healthier food. You could display these around your school or share them on your school’s social media platforms.

3. Plant a School Garden: With the help of teachers and fellow students, start a garden at your school to grow vegetables and herbs. This hands-on project could help students learn about the process of growing food and the environmental benefits of local produce.

4. Host a Workshop or Presentation: Invite a local farmer or an expert in sustainable agriculture to give a talk to students about the importance of local farming. This could be an educational session that also includes interactive elements like a tasting session of local fruits and vegetables.

5. Field Trip to a Local Farm: Organize a field trip to a nearby farm. This would allow students to see firsthand how food is grown, learn about the challenges local farmers face, and understand the environmental impacts of farming.

6. Produce a Short Documentary: Create a video or multimedia presentation that explores the journey of local produce from farm to table, including interviews with farmers, footage of farming practices, and discussions on how this benefits the community and environment.

This week I honestly enjoyed. We did go through some problems and then got through them in the end. We emailed some agencies and some actually replied im looking forward on going to field trips. We were a bit late in things and still are and i am hoping to go through them. On the side we also have our GL practice and homework that is really hard to control but in summary I am enjoying so far.

# data[].attributes.body
This week was TENSE we did have a lot of arguments and the week before we had rain missed school for a few days which made us delayed. This week we went on our first field trip to the ripe market. We interviewed 3 people and they taught us how they do this and where they get this food from and many more things. This week was fun and very interesting and i am looking forward to going on our next field trip.
