Kinder recount- Sushi making

The following recount reflects student voice.

On September 11th, we were lucky enough to have Tanya from Building Blocks come into Kinder and do some special cooking.

We tasted some dried seaweed flakes, and we looked at some pictures of a type of food called sushi. We have a Sushi Station investigative play area in our class, where we play with the sushi and learn about different types of foods and cultures. We know that sushi was first made in Japan.

We were very excited to learn how to make sushi. Some of us like sushi, and some of us have never tried it before.

To start, we made fruit kebabs with a pear dipping sauce. The kebabs were very yummy and sweet. We practiced cutting up watermelon, strawberries, blueberries, grapes, and bananas. Then we put the fruit on some sticks and shared the fruit.

We then cut up some cucumber, capsicum, avocado, and lettuce for the sushi. There was some salmon and tuna to add to our sushi. We then laid out the seaweed, rice, and chose our fillings. We each had a go at rolling the sushi,

Thank you to Tanya for helping run the session. We had so much fun!
