A slice of learning at Crust Pizza
Our Pre-Kindergarten students enjoyed an exciting excursion to a local pizza shop, where they explored the intricacies of pizza-making. This hands-on experience enriched their understanding of real-world systems, aligning perfectly with our inquiry-based learning approach. The children's enthusiasm and active participation underscored their development as curious inquirers. We thank the Boora family for their generous donation of pizzas, making this an unforgettable educational experience.
