MAKING PORRIDGE

On Wednesday my food group went
to Lucy's Mum's house to make porridge.
First we put some oats into the pot.
Then we put some cold water into the pot.
We put the pot on the element.
The heat went through the pot.
We mixed the porridge for three minutes.
The oats and the water changed into porridge.
It was yummy and tasty.
My food group fed the lambs.

FOOD

For eight weeks of this term we are working on an integrated topic around Food.
Learning experiences have been planned to meet learning outcomes in the areas of Health, Social Studies, Science,Music, Dance and Drama.

As a starter to the topic we brainstormed;
What do you know about FOOD?
What have you always wondered?

Lucy wonders "If you choke on FOOD, does it go another way down your throat?"

Dylan wonders, "Can I find vitamins and minerals in foods and drinks if I looked with a magnifying glass?"

Casey wonders, "What do vitamins and minerals mean?"

Aleisha wonders, "How is fat reduced or taken out of the food?"

Jelena wonders, " What free-colour juice has in it?"

Connie wonders, "How are germs taken out of milk, and is milk better for you than water?"

Jhaelen wonders, "How does a butcher get the meat out of an animal?"

Lucy wonders, "How do people put colour in food?"

Hopefully we will get some way to answering these questions.
