It's all Greek to me!
Today in Year 3 we launched our new topic for the Spring Term by having a Greek food tasting day. The children had the opportunity to taste different foods, design their own Greek menus and have a go at putting together Greek inspired pittas and wraps.
“I learnt how Greek food tastes.”- Eliza
“I learnt that the ABC in Greek is different than in English. I liked all the foods we tested because now I know what foods I like and don’t like.”- Riley
“I learnt how to design a Greek menu from trying different foods.”- Isabelle
“I enjoyed when we found what language they speak in Greece.”- Evelyn
“I really liked when we go to choose our own food to put in our sandwich.”- Natalya
“I really enjoyed creating the menu because we go to be creative!”- Lauren
“I liked adding the money because I know how to add and I love maths!”-Ayan
“I liked creating the shopping list because I could see how much it cost.”-Gracie
