In Week 8,
Year 9 students began the first phase of presenting their work completed during
Autumn term by leading the Year 7 student cohort on a journey around the world
in 80 paces. Throughout the term, the Year 9 students have been exploring the
big question “How can food sustain the world” in which they have worked in
collaborative teams to investigate one country from around the world, to explore
the culture, economy, political system and geography of that country and the
food security issues facing the country both now and into the future. The
students then presented their country as part of an interactive and multi-modal
display for Year 7 students, who acted as United Nations Ambassadors, selecting
which countries had the most pressing and urgent food security issues and
required funding. The Year 7s were ‘paid’ United Nations money for the
information they collected and were then able to distribute the money amongst
the Year 9 teams as they saw fit.
In the last
phase of the project, the Year 9s will refer to the food security issues facing
countries around the world that they studied this term and a range of
sustainable food security solutions to suggest suitable strategies to secure
food for their country’s population into the future.
