Discovery Tour of Woolworths

We went to Woolworths for an excursion! We went at 10:00 am. It was a long walk there. When we got there Sarah Winchester gave us an apple hat then we looked at a machine to cook the bread. 

Then we went into the back room. It was funny because Sarah said, "Don't let the door slap your partner." First Sarah showed us rotten food in big green bins. They smelled! Next, we looked at a big machine that can crush cardboard. It was cool! Next Sarah showed us a button that makes a ramp go up!

Today my Teacher and class went to Woolworths. We went at 10:00 am. We looked at 2 big ovens. After we look at the 2 ovens we got an apple hat from Sarah. My partner was James Reardon. It was very cold and James looked funny with the apple hat but he said, "You look more funny!" We went a place for staff only and Sarah showed us a pallet lifter. It carries packages around places. We also went in these really cold freezers. One was -10 degrees! That's daytime in Canada. It was very cold. Then we asked some questions. 

We saw this button that lifts up this metal thing so the truck can empty everything but if it bumps the building it has a rubber protector that puts the track back. After that, we saw a cardboard smasher machine. Then we saw this lady wrapping pumpkins with a wrapping machine thing. Then we played a game that we had to guess what's in paper bags.

Year 1/2 and the Teaches went on an excursion to Woolworths! It was amazing. First of all our tour guide was Sarah, Akacia's Mum. Sarah Gave us these hats that said Fresh Food Kids in Training. We saw the ovens that baked bread and cookies. The ovens were enormous!

Next, we went out the back where no customers can go! We went over to this spot and Sarah took this thing called a pallet lifter and showed us what to do. You drive it around and you can lift up pallets. She also showed us this ramp. So when the truck comes it stops on the rubbers and the ramp comes up. We saw the freezer and went inside. It was SO, SO, SO COLD! It was fun! Sarah said that it was -10 degrees and that it was that cold in Canada!

Next Sarah put vegies and fruits in bags and we had to guess what it was by feeling it and smelling it. Then Sarah chose people to pick them out. There was a cucumber, garlic, chilli, passionfruit, lemon and carrot. Then we ate some fruit. At the end Sarah gave us these bags that were filled with goodies. It was AMAZING!
