Greetings from France!

As part of health week the children in Reception designed and made their own salads! We started by tasting the different salad options and choosing which ones we would like. We tried carrots, peppers, beetroot, sweetcorn, celery, raisins, tomatoes and cucumber! Having designed our salads we then had great fun making  them and choosing our favourite dip! We then did the all important part of eating it. We also learnt about the importance of evaluating our salad afterwards and thinking about what we might do differently if we made it again.

We also learnt lots of facts about our world cup country, France!! We started by finding out where France is in the world using Google Earth. We learnt that France is in Europe and that you could sail to France on a ferry in no time at all! We know that the capital city is called Paris and has a big river called La Seine running through it. In Paris there is also a very famous tower called the Eiffel Tower! We learnt about the flag and how to count and say simple phrases in French!
We were very interested in learning about the different kinds of food you might eat in France.  We know in France they like to eat French onion soup, lots of smelly cheese, snails and frogs legs!!!

 

We didn’t fancy trying any snails or frogs legs but our teachers thought it would be a nice idea to have a French breakfast! We all tried crossaints, brioche, pain au chocolat, baguette and jam – it was yummy!!
