Spices

We have been learning about spices and where in the world they come from. Today we looked at how spices from different countries/cultures effect the cuisine we eat. 

We put spices on popcorn and then ate it... strangely the most spicy were the popular request. 

That didn't always culminate in a pleasant experience...

Kiwican

We are talking about the ocean because it's ocean week on Saturday. Lots of creatures live in the ocean. Sadly there's lots of rubbish in the ocean now too. Unfortunately lots of the animals in the ocean are dying. We can stop our impact on the ocean by being responsible for what we put in it.

Kiwican says...

Respect our ocean. Respect our sea.

That is the way it's meant to be!

We played "Tide in tide out"

Tide out (run right) 

Scuba diver, whale, octopus, squid, shark attack (pretend to do the action)

We can all do little things to make a difference. 

Keep our oceans clean. Recycle. Keep the rubbish in the bins. 

We designed T-shirt's to raise awareness for our oceans.

Spices

We are learning about different herbs and spices and how they are used in different countries foods.

Today we looked at turmeric, cinnamon, paprika, Ginger, cardamom  seeds, bay leaf, Rosemary, coriander
