Our topic study for the term has been focused on "Farming" which was lead up to a trip to Ambury Farm at the end of the term. I filled this inquiry with rich language experiences to support the development of my class's vocabulary as part of my CoL teacher inquiry for 2023.
We created our Maniakalani Film about our trip to Ambury Farm - one of the children wrote a song about the trip and with the support of our talented music teacher we put it to music and taught it to the rest of the class. Here's the link to our movie!
Before going to Ambury Farm the tamariki had been creating using the products that we get from farming. They made butter from cream, bread from scratch, lemonade, cooked scrambled eggs and will be making french fries using potatoes, weaving with wool and making our own ice-cream!
I gave the tamariki as much opportunity as possible to be independent and experience making these things for themselves. Here are a few photographs as evidence of what we have been getting up to! I have displayed these photographs and key vocabulary on the wall in the classroom and it has been lovely to see the children looking at the photos and talking with their friends what we made.
Making butter - we made butter by placing cream in a jar (and a few marbles) and shaking it until it turned into butter. The tamariki enjoyed butter their own fairy bread!
We made bread from scratch using yeast, flour, water, sugar and oil.
We made lemonade (with a few limes thrown too!) using lemons a tamariki in our class brought along to school.
After much classroom debate and a taking in a vote in the classroom the children decided the best way to cook eggs was to scramble them, so that is what we did!
