New Taipei City Daguan Elementary School─School on the Hillside: Picnic

1. The origin of the design of picnic feasts in the mountains and forests
After a year of trying, from the "forest costume show" that combined the school's forest materials to using the "five senses" to experience the beauty of the campus's mountains and rivers, we have worked hard to deepen the "forest" curriculum step by step. Among the five senses, the one that most arouses students' interest is the experience of eating - taste, so this school year we hope to lead students to hold a "Mountain and Forest Picnic" during the spring season. Put a picnic mat on the campus, breathe in the faint fragrance of plants in the wind, enjoy the delicious food made by yourself, relax and meet the famous painting - "Picnic Picture", and enjoy the picnic feast. From the meal From order preparation to plating, students can choose, prepare and share meals together, allowing students to become mountain picnic masters.
