Visit

Posted on by

Monday 1st of October we had visit from Ådalskolen located in Skive. They were coming 60 kids from 0. to 6. grade. The school had a theme about potatoes, so they wanted to see a company that worked with that product.

The students arrived in buses at 9.00 am, and then had a short beefing of Erik, where he told about how we get the crisp potatoes to the company, store, wash and sort them before they are driven to the crisp factories. When there was opportunity to ask questions, a little boy didn’t understand why we sent the potatoes to crisp factories, instead of making them ourselves. It gave some laughter. After the students had eaten their fruit, they all got a guided tour around the company, which gave some funny comments and faces. Some kids thought it smelled bad. They were very keen to ask during the tour, and when they were finish, they should work with the subject. Once again they had possibility to ask about what they have seen. The children were very interested in how many potatoes each box could store and how many crisps bags that was. The numbers gave them Christmas lights in their eyes.

After working with the subject they ate their lunch, and afterwards were served soft drinks and crisps. We tried to convince them that we only eat crisps for lunch, but they didn’t believe us.

All together it was an eventful day for us, and we know the students and teachers had some good experiences and information from here.

In the end the boys wanted to know if they could hold their birthday in the company. Because there were served crisps and soft drinks 😉
