5B were excited to write about the senses they used today in our kitchen class. Here are some fabulous examples of their writing:

Today we went to the garden and made delicious food. I heard the ripping of lettuce and the sizzling onions. I smelt smoky, burnt sunflower seeds and strong rocket. I felt soft lettuce and doughy bread. I saw mushy broad beans and grilled bread. I ate juicy oranges and delicious gnocchi. It’s so good to go to the kitchen, because it’s lots of fun and doesn’t happen a lot.

As I cooked I felt the leafy bumpy texture of the silver beet as I ripped them in half throwing away the stems. I heard the bang of all the knives slicing and dicing. I saw the boiling bubbles pop of all the pots and the laughter of all the children as they created. As we finished I tasted the long stringy cheese on the tasty gnocchi.

Today I went to the rare experience of the kitchen. The whole class cooked different amazing dishes. I saw popping seeds and a lot of parsley. I also saw some couscous and it looked very wet and soggy. I saw golden, burnt and raw seeds. I smelt the mean parsley, the smell that was not good at all! I also smelt snow peas, it smelt very good at the end. I heard the sizzling oven. I smelt the running of the tap. I touched a chunk of parsley. I also touched a bunch of spring onion. I could almost taste the watering broccoli. When I was drying dishes, I touched the sticky couscous. My experience at the kitchen was outstounding.

Today we have been in the kitchen and we smelled delicious gnocchi that looked disgusting but tasted amazing with barely anything being heard as we cooked. At the same time while all that was happening there were sesame seeds flying all over the kitchen. During the process there were two salads being made, one with amazing oranges and one with an untasty dressing (couscous salad). In other groups there was delicious bruschetta being made with broad beans.

In the exciting kitchen, we have explored many sensory words while having heaps of fun. Today I saw the golden seeds hopping in the pan as if they were on a tiny trampoline. I felt the joy of making delicious , fresh food. I inhaled some steam after opening the top to boiling, bubbling water. I heard the sizzling of the toasty warm bread. I tasted the soft broad beans igniting my tongue with flavour. I witnessed the whole class working as a team to make the kitchen beautiful. I touched the warm broccoli crumbling in my hands. I smelt the crispy bread being cooked to perfection.

As I entered the kitchen tempting smells were fluttering through the air like butterflies. I listened as Nikki described meals each group had to prepare. My group made smashed broad bean bruschetta. I was busy snapping and podding the broad beans, as the water boiled away on the stove. After all the broad beans were podded we put the broad beans into the pot to cook. I remember watching the broad beans float up to the surface of the water. The skin slipped off the beans like an old sock. The mortar and pestle created a steady beat while the beans few all over the place. This foodie tune was topped off with the occasional sizzle of bread as it toasted.
