Crew Stew

This week Room 5 has been over run by pirates and all of our learning has been based around pirates. As part of the theme we have been reading the big book Crew Stew. The book sees the crew of a pirate ship all add an ingredient to the cooks pot as he makes crew stew. As each ingredient is added the cook sings "Cook it long, cook it slow, cook it till they'll never know whats in it". Of course the cook gets to add the secret ingredient which happens to be a salty pirate sock. Yuck! So today we made crew stew, each member of the class brought something to put in the pot. There were onions, carrots, potatoes, kumara, leek, celery and noodles. We cooked the soup on our ship and ate it for lunch, everyone tried it and some even had seconds. I am pleased to say there was not a sock in sight.
