Another busy day in Room 3 this week. We continued learning through the lens of Social Studies about the Pacific Islands. Provoking imagination, oral language and thinking, we engaged ourselves in an island pretend cooking session. We looked at the traditional way of cooking called umu. Penny brought us some banana leaves to wrap our 'food' in and covered it afterwards. We located some 'hot' rocks for the cooking on the ground. We used acorns and chestnuts. All children wanted to participate and give things a go. We tried to follow the process as we've seen it online. After a few hours, we uncovered our food and 'relished' each bite! That gave us energy for practising our assembly songs. On Friday we performed at our assembly with Room 25. The children sang "Pacific Greetings' song, environment song and our fundraising song. The children that had some words to say gave it a go with confidence. By the end of the day we treated ourselves to a movie, while we wrote descriptive sentences about our tapa cloth art.
