Dear
Edgerley Parents,
As
we have begun to more deeply explore machines in our lives in the past two
weeks we have been using real machines for a purpose. We have used a blender to
make vegetable soup after a lot of interest in veggies in our home corner play.
We experimented with a bread maker after cooking bread by hand to compare the
two. We also began to sew some reflective strips for our dancing place with big
fat needles and then created the same strips using a real sewing machine! That
was exciting!
Below
are some of our thoughts about making soup with a blender
We
made soup. The machine went round and round. Daisy
The
machine chops the vegetables to pieces. Apollon
When
the machine went on it did so much blending that I couldn’t even see the
chopper. Joshua
The
soup tasted good. The machine went fast. Fergus
It
went so fast the vegies got cutted up. Luke
This
week we also invited in another grandma to help us cook delicious Polish Pierogi. Jacob's Babcia helped us knead lovely soft dough, cut it into circles
and fill it with spinach, potato or strawberries then we all used a pierogi
cutter (or a crocodile, as the children labelled it)to crimp the pierogi
closed. In the afternoon the children created an outdoor pierogi restaurant
(much like our gnocchi restaurant) and Miss Kasauskas served them steaming
yummy bowl fulls. Thankyou Babcia for visiting us.
Kind
Regards
Edgerley
