Global Taste Test

By -
Room 14 had a taste test of food from different countries.
 
We tasted danish salami on rye bread. 
We also tried carrots without peeling them first.
We knew that our friends in Denmark have salami for lunch because they showed us on their blog. You should take a look at 1A Vonsild Skole's blog.
Here are some of our thoughts about the Danish Food - 
- I liked tasting different food. (Makki)
- The salami tasted like garlic and I liked it. (Liz)
- The rye bread was nice and fresh. The carrots were hard to bite into. (James)
- The salami looked like a sausage but tasted like ham. (Robert)
- The carrots were crunchy. (Tremaine)
- The carrots were kind of sweet. (Lacey)
- The carrots were nice and fresh. The salami tasted a bit like sausage. (Rebecca)
We also picked some lettuce we had grown in the Kitchen Garden to have with our salami and rye bread.
  
Next we tasted Dulce de Leche from Argentina on crackers. It is caramelised sweetened condensed milk. We were very lucky that Anna shared her dulce de leche with us.
Here are some of our thoughts on dulce de leche -
It was sweet and I wanted more. (James)
I was impressed that it tasted like caramel. (Makki)
With my first bite it took me into a caramel cloud. (Robert)
It was like condensed milk. (Tremaine)
It melted in my mouth. (Rebecca)
I liked it so much I wanted to eat the whole jar. (Emily)
We got to try some candy from the USA. 
Anna's friend Mariel, thought her children got far too much candy for Halloween so she took it away from them and sent it all the way to New Zealand! Sorry Lauryn and Raven but we loved trying it. Thank you for sharing.

Here is a vimeo of our Global Taste Test.
We really enjoyed trying new foods. 
We would definitely love to do it again.

What is your favourite food from a different country?

Class Treaty

We read the book The Tree House Treaty by Wiremu Grace.   The children in the story built a tree hut in a big old Pohutakawa tree.  They made a treaty to agree how they could all use their tree hut fairly. We created our own class treaty to symbolize how our class is a friendly and supportive learning environment.

Swimming

Everyday we have swimming. We have people who are learning to get their faces wet by playing ring-a-rosie. Some of us are learning to kick so the water bubbles. And some of us are learning to do freestyle without splashing the water by cupping our hands. On Fridays we get to practice our swimming by having free time. It is fun! Today we made a whirlpool. We made it go fast and it started dragging us. Then we went the other way. It was hard because the water was pushing us back. When we finished the water was pushing us along.
