Humans have different perspectives, so when they interact with each other conflicts may arise. This leads to a need to find solutions to improve relationships and create a better society. ||

we have had a lot of experiences, last weeks we went to make a interview in pre-primary and primary teachers to find some information about inset days for our action. we also make a private interview to Doris one of the phycologist of primary section. we went to compass administration and we asked who was the one incharge of the inset snacks and she told us that the 90% of the times the secretaries of the sections call her and tell her what they wanted to order and the prices, after that we came back to primary and asked to the secretaries who tell them the menu so she told us well mrs. Diane and mrs. Patricia so we asked to mrs.Diane first and she said i dont have anything to do with that mrs.patricia is the one incharge so be run to talk and asked her why and she said well i am the one but to change my mind i need a formal letter with the proposal. we have also visited lots of web pages and online agazines and books for our key concepts and research topic information where we have learned a lot about it. and fially we were planning to make a visit Colombina to talk to a persson that works in comercials but we finally decided that we didnt need so much that interview and we didt had time. || We have information of our topic from YouTube videos, online books, magazines and web pages also teachers and students points of view here we just have the most important ones to see more go to bibliography. Principio del formulario || ACTION PROPOSAL We are the candies in our society group, and we’ve been thinking in our action. We have different actions and each one has its own that are: PRE-KINDER, TEACHERS AND 6D CLASS. We decided as a group that we wanted that all the 4 possible action where direct because we think that it´s better to attack the problem from the very first beginning. We came up with 4 different ones, which are: 1. Making a survey to all the primary teachers that come in inset days when students don’t come and see what teachers DO want to eat. For the time being we know that teachers are given chocolate cake and coke, however teachers aren’t really convinced about eating that because they are not really fans of candies, they want to eat healthy food and they’ve make a lot of exercise for coming to school and the snack they give them spoil all of their work. SURVEY TO TEACHERS: 2. Another idea is to make an activity with pre-kinder and second grade kids. We want to make them change the perspective they might have of candies and because they’re still small it’s easier to change their point of view. We are doing an activity that is about them making a poster explaining how do they use sweets and what are the conflicts it may cause. Then after the activity they will reflect about it. 3. The other one is to make a no candies day in primary. Kids will have to spend a whole day in school without eating candies. But not just that, they can come to school with street clothes OF THEIR FAVORITE FRUIT COLOR and have to bring it and eat it here in school. 4. And the last one is in our classroom, kind of an experiment. We’ll bring junk food and candies mostly. We’ll eat them and record our behavior in class. Then we’ll bring water and fruits so we’ll eat it and record ones again our behavior. Finally we’ll prove if candies affect our behavior in class. || Our inquiry has helped understand the central idea because every question we ask our selves we connect it to the central idea so the answer we finish with is connected to it and we have a better grade. We can improve our presentation by always thinking about the CI so we can reflect in our information if it’s accurate. The connection where that sharing the planet has to be with the society conflicts as in the CI it’s said about that. Sincerely, we think the hole exhibition helped us understand the attitude, attributes and skills. ||
 * The role candies play in our community.
 * The use of candies in our school community leads to conflict.
 * The ways candies can be replaced by other types of resources
 * The role of candies can be changed in order to improve our society- ||
 * ** How will we know what we have learned? **
 * In our final performance assessment (the exhibition) we are planning of making the stand half and half, the first half showing how we use of candies and how publicity became an important source for attracting (that half of the stand will be full of candies) and in the other half of the stand showing how candy could be replace with other type of resources and other important things in life and showing why… (the why is the conflicts that brings at school and at home) ** ||
