Christmas around the world and thinking of others.

During our RE lesson today, we looked at beliefs and practices amongst Christians in other parts of the world. We also thought about what was important to us at Christmas.

Japanese Fruit Skewers

Today we looked at different climates of the world and how this affects which fruit and vegetables grow in different countries. We then focused on fruits from Asia which included Bananas, Strawberries, Watermelon and Lychees and made Japanese Fruit Skewers. We used cutting skills to slice the fruit up and then carefully threaded it on to the skewer. Lastly, we brushed traditional Japanese plum sauce over the kebabs to make them even more tasty!

However, when the children began to read the Elf’s work, they noticed quite a few mistakes. We decided we would help them improve by editing their work. The adults photocopied the story and we set to work with our purple polishing pens, looking for and correcting mistakes. We Read more
