Growing Healthy Minds: The Green Café E-STEAM Journey
Learning becomes truly powerful when students can see its connection to real life and our Grade 3 learners did exactly that through their exciting E-STEAM project centered on the Green Café concept.
The journey began with a simple yet important question: What does it mean to eat healthy? From there, students explored the idea of a balanced diet, learning about food groups, nutrients, and the role healthy choices play in keeping our bodies strong and active. Science lessons came alive as learners discussed how food fuels growth, energy and well-being.
As the project unfolded, creativity and sustainability took center stage. Students imagined and designed their own Green Cafés, carefully selecting healthy menu options while considering eco-friendly practices. Through hands-on activities, discussions, and collaborative tasks, learners connected classroom concepts to everyday food choices, developing a deeper understanding of responsible and healthy living.
Teamwork was at the heart of this E-STEAM experience. Students worked together to plan, design, and present their ideas, building confidence, communication skills, and critical thinking along the way. They learned not just what to eat, but why making mindful choices matters—for themselves and for the planet.
The project concluded with an enthusiastic showcase where students proudly presented their Green Café concepts. The smiles, confidence and thoughtful explanations reflected a journey of meaningful learning—one that went far beyond textbooks.
A heartfelt appreciation to our wonderful parents for their continuous support and to our young learners for their energy, curiosity, and creativity. This E-STEAM experience truly embodied learning beyond books, nurturing healthy habits for life.
