22.01.2022 Meanwhile up in the kitchen the the grade 3/4 were bringing the DR Seuss book Green eggs and ham to life. The students have been creating their own recipes for Green eggs and ham. Working on elements like trying to convince each other to eat their version of green eggs and ham and how the green colour was being made? Mrs V chose a few recipes from each group and the students worked to create these dishes. The class did not take much convincing to eat their Green Eggs and Ham. We look forward to seeing the new recipes in tomorrows class.
