Vegetable patch picking

Mrs Turner and I decided it would be a great day to let room 19 venture into Arahoes very own orchard and vegetable patch again! This time we were able to pick a couple of cucumbers and tomatoes which we cut up for the class to eat. While we ate these we thought about what it tasted like which helped us come up with some very good words such as juicy, watery, crunchy and soft. While eating the pieces of cucumber we made a writing piece as a whole class on the board about our findings. It turned into a very practical and exciting writing lesson for everyone. Someone even took the rest of the cucumber home and made 'temakizushi' - hand rolled sushi for dinner!
