Cooking Japanese Noodles

We have been learning about Japan because the Rugby World Cup is on there at the moment. We learned lots of facts during Geography but the best bit has been stir-frying noodles today! We used noodles, vegetables, chicken and soy sauce with a little honey. They tasted delicious. Yummy!
We practised eating the noodles with chopsticks like Japanese people would. It was tricky! Wendy brought in some beautiful chopsticks she received as a present. She told us that chopsticks are a good luck gift! 

Look at our beans!

We planted some broad beans and cress seeds back in April and now our beans are ready for picking! Here are some beans that came out of the pods. We might use them to sow new plants next Spring.

Growing Herbs

We planted our kitchen garden. Parsley, Lemon Basil, Oregano and Marjoram have begun their journey from little seeds into delicious plants!

Come on Ireland!!

We are following Ireland's progress in the Rugby World Cup in Japan. It's been a great start with Ireland beating Scotland on Sunday. We have all picked out teams to cheer on and will see who wins in the final on Saturday 2nd November.

Welcome to Room 12!

We hope you like our door display!

It's based on a wonderful story by Dr. Seuss called "Oh, The Places You'll Go!"

Papier Mache Art and Craft

What a fun, messy art project we are working on in Room 12! Papier Mache hot air balloons! Here we are at the start, using glue, newspaper and balloons to make our model. We will post up pictures of the finished projects. 

A Fun Science Experiment

After reading the poem, "Flying Machine" by Hilda Offen, we did a science experiment about streamlining. We learned that airplanes are built with a pointy nose on front. This helps them fly faster by cutting through the air and the design is called streamlining.

A big hello from Room 12!
