Fun with Food

For the last few weeks, Nate's class has been learning about food. They started with vegetables. One day they made pictures of faces using vegetables. Another day, they had to bring in their favourite vegetable chopped into bite size pieces. Nate brought carrots. When they got to class, they used everyone's veggies to make a vegetable soup. Nate had 2 helpings!

Next they talked about fruit. They brought in their favourite fruit (Nate brought apples) and made a giant fruit salad! Two days later, they brought in more fruit (mini oranges) and made fruit skewers.

Last week, the teacher brought in a bunch of ingredients and asked the class what they thought these ingredients would become. Lots of guesses later, they found out they were making bread! Buns to be exact. She also had some ingredients for the kids to shake together and make butter. When asked what they thought they were making, one kid guessed bologna! Nate was pretty close, guessing cheese.

Today they had a super special treat. Byblos Bakery, known for their pitas, came to the school and the made pita sandwiches. The kids were encouraged to try some new ingredients, so Nate added black "onions" (olives) and mushrooms to his ham and cheese. He says he really liked it.

And the people from Byblos brought bags of pitas for all the kids to take home! So generous :)
