*** P4/P5 Tayto WAU Trip ***

As part of their ‘Food Glorious Food’ topic, the P4/P5 pupils enjoyed a fantastic trip to the Tayto factory in Tandragee!

The children discovered how crisps are made, from storing, washing and slicing the potatoes to cooking and seasoning them. They were amazed to learn that an incredible 100,000 potatoes are used every week!

There were plenty of tasty treats to sample too! The children tried a variety of Tayto favourites, including Witches’ Hats, Popcorn, Potato Craft and Fry Bites, as well as a sneak peek at a brand-new flavour, Christmas Stars, which isn’t even on the market yet!  The highlight for many was tasting freshly made, still-warm crisps – delicious! 

They also learned how Tayto works sustainably, with potato skins and other waste being reused on farms as animal feed, helping to reduce waste.

A huge thank you to our brilliant tour guides, Josh and Catherine, who made the visit so enjoyable and answered all our questions. The children had a wonderful day filled with learning, laughter and lots of crunching!
