Food Trip Around the World!

 Over the last few weeks we have loved watched the FIFA Soccer World Cup. 

Next month is another great international sports event -  the Commonwealth Games. 

To coincide with this the whole school has been learning about different countries around the world. 

We decided going on a FOOD TRIP around the WORLD would be a great match with this topic! 

During the first lesson we talked about our own cultures and heritage - what countries we had an association with and what foods were special to these countries. Throughout the whole school we covered many, many different countries and foods! 

These included:

• Sri Lanka - 'hoppers'

• South African - milk tart

• England - Yorkshire puddings 

• Samoa - sapasui

• Spain - chorizo sausage

Do you know what county these foods are from? 

We drew food on a plate to represent a typical meal. We tried to think about food that was linked to our own unique cultures. 

We then chose 4 different countries to research. We had to find out what their flag looked like and some food that was typical to that country. 

To finish the session we went on a 'eating trip around the world' and tried food that are famous in 4 different parts of the world. 

Can you tell which countries they were from? 

We tried pita bread, hummus, pretzels and persimmon.
