Category: Local Specialties
Our school is surrounded with loads of pineapple fields, because pineapple is one of the most famous food in Kuanmiao. In order to further understand this special fruit - Kuanmiao pineapple, we participate the local food festival. In this event, students have the opportunities to make pineapple jams and other products. Besides that, they have to set a food stand to sell their products. Through this event, students have the further understanding of local culture and the affects of the communities.
Because of these experiences, students learnt the close relationships between life, humanities and local industries. We break the boundaries of school to enrich the learning material, and help them further understand local culture and industry through local events. We hope these experiences will benefit their abilities of independence, expression, creativities, imagination and cooperation. Most important of all, they can learn to care the campus and the environment of communities.

Reflection
We are so happy to have this oppotunity to experience this amazing journey. In the begining, we could not imagine that we can complete the task. In this year, we have been through loads of ups and downs. There have been some serious frustrations because of team members’ personal issues, time pressure and skills training. However, these problems have been gradually overcome through teachers’ direction and coordination.
Even though we are young, our hearts are big. Children are willing to do whatever they can to achieve the goal - promoting local industries, and their motivation is the love of hometown.
