Sunny School Student Immersive Field Trip Local Tea Field

Immersive Field Trips

Sunny School students go on a number of different field trips throughout the year to get some hands on experience and learn about the local culture. These trips are a lot of fun and very interesting for the students! This past week we went on a field trip to a local tea plantation.

Students got to learn all about Chinese tea. They got to experience how it is grown and processed. Also, they learned about Chinese tea culture from ancient times up to the modern era.

First up on the field trip students got to see a local tea field. They learned about how the tea is grown and even got to go and hand pick their own tea leaves.
