Have you ever wondered what Planet Earth will be like in 20 years?
Did you know our food choices can save the planet? By eating bugs!!
It’s called “en-to-mo-pha-gy! You can help save our planet by eating bugs?!
and Guess what? … It’s high in protein … Let’s save our planet!
Task description: Today, we explored the pressing issues of the greenhouse effect, global warming, and climate change. We discussed how these factors are negatively impacting our planet Earth. How can we make a difference?
This week, Room 9’s literacy class became insect experts! We explored the concept of entomophagy and its potential benefits. The discussion was lively, with students expressing a range of emotions. Despite initial fear, the class bravely accepted the challenge of trying edible insects.
We were fortunate to have two generous sponsors, Mike Ashby from Biosuppliers Ltd., who provided us with 30 large locusts and a 100-pack of waxmoth larvae. Interestingly, Mike’s mother used to be a specialised teacher at our school, working with students who faced unique learning challenges.
Louise Burnie from Eat Crawlers contributed cricket pasta and scorpion lollipops to our culinary adventure. By embracing entomophagy, we aimed to contribute to the preservation of our planet.
I wonder who was the most adventurous eater in the class? Did anyone pretend to be sick to avoid trying the insect dishes?
If you could turn one of your classmates into an insect, who would it be and why? Stay tunned!
