Day 4
Day 4 was a day for us to develop our cutting skills. In order for us to chop our proteins, fruits and vegetables carefully we had to learn the 'claw' and 'bridge' grip.
We learnt that the 'claw' grip is best used for long, rigid foods like cucumbers and carrots, whilst the 'bridge' grip is best for spherical foods such as, tomatoes and onions.
Day 2
Today we were introduced to our design brief...
1. Little hidden sugars as possible.
2. To include a protein, fruit/vegetable, and a dairy product.
3. To taste delicious.
4. To be cost effective.
In order for us to achieve our design brief we took part in taste testing within our group. We tried different combinations of each of the food groups and then decided as a team which one we liked best. The winning combination would then be our final design for our wrap.
This term Year 4 have been using their French topic of Food and Healthy Eating to explore language used in a famous children's story by Eric Carle - The Very Hungry Caterpillar, which in French is actually titled La chenille qui fait des trous.
The children used the story to revise days of the week, practise some of the fruits they have been learning and look at more vocabulary linked to food and discuss the gender of nouns.
You can listen and read along to the story here:
This week Year 4 used Ipads and headsets to create their own language lab-style lessons. They worked in pairs to learn vocabulary for Snacks linked to their food topic, by playing games that practise listening, speaking, reading and writing skills. We also discussed whether the vocabulary represented snacks which were healthy or not.
Remember - all children at Bannockburn have access to Linguascope App and website for further home learning , so ask your teacher for the most up-to-date login details.
