Off on a veggie hunt....

Kia Ora

We all thought that we needed to broaden our knowledge about vegetables so off we went to Countdown at Northlands.

It wasn't just about looking at vegetables...we had been set some tasks .

 Do you know the song about going on a  Bear Hunt?   Well it was just like that except we were  going on a Veggie Hunt!!!!!

We had to find...our favourite vegetable,  a vegetable we had never seen before,  a vegetable we didn't like and then we had a to find an aubergine...it is also called an egg plant.

Carrots are our favourite!

Cucumber is mine...

And mine is broccoli!

I tried kumera last week and i really liked it!!

Then we looked for the veggie we liked the least....

Guess what...we don't like broccoli!!

And for us it is parsnip!

Finding the aubergine was really tricky.   Gayle and Rachel gave us clues but we still couldn't find them.
When  we finally found it we  all thought it was a beautiful looking vegetable. It was purple and all shiny.

"The Team"

 As we found out not only do you buy vegetables when they are fresh but you can also get them in a tin and frozen so off we went on another hunt.

I just love beetroot!!

They are very cold!!

We are exploring music for our Arts Topic so this week we started with clapping the beats in our name, using instruments to make sounds in a story, playing instruments in time with the piano and being a conductor.

Being a conductor was so much fun....the rest of the team...including Gayle had to watch very carefully for our signals...fast, slow. loud. They had to follow what ever the baton did !!

We are hoping that we will be doing this again next week!!
