One of the ESOL groups decided food was a good way of exploring language. We do a lot of talking and reading and writing about food and produce something once a week.
Here are some of our attempts.
Pencil Tops
We were introduced to the work of YouTube star Wengie. She produces edible school supplies so lollies can be snuck in to class. We followed her directions to make pencil toppers.
Happy Cake
The Ready to Reading publishing arm of the New Zealand Ministry of Education put our a book several years ago called You Can Make a Happy Cake. It is probably a happy cake because of the sugar rush that it produces as well as the smiley face that is generally stenciled on top.
Here is one of the stories we wrote about making the cake.
Edible Slime
We watched many different clips about making edible slime. We gave it a go and thought afterwards how we might improve next time.
