Vegetable Soup Writing

The clever writers in Room 1 worked on their vegetable soup stories for 2 or 3 days.  They added lots of detail about what they did to make the soup and used sequencing words (e.g. after, then, next) to order their story.  Here are a few for you to read....


On Monday we made vegetable soup.  We had to wash our hands and wash the vegetables because the vegetables had dirt and slime on them. 
Next it was my turn to chop with the sharp knife to chop the leeks  and celery.  I got to snap the cauliflower.  It looked like a baby tree.  
Finally it was time to cook the soup.  Mrs Blakesley put eight cups of water and some stock.  We tipped the vegetables into the pot and cooked it for a long time until it was mushy and soft. We got to eat the delicious soup and delicious bread.

Have you ever made vegetable soup with your own vegetables?  Room 1 picked our vegetables and made vegetable soup on Monday. 
First we peeled the heavy parsnip.  It was very hard to peel because it was  a bit lumpy.  The parsnip peelings looked like humongous chunks of cheese.  When I tried it, it tasted like melted carrot.  When we peeled the slippery potato it was hard because it had such hard skin and I had to keep picking it up because it slipped out of my hand.  The grater sounded like motorbike's engine.  When we finally got enough we put it in the enormous pot.  It was almost overflowing with vegetables.  The we put the lovely vegetable stock in as well.  The stock is as good as the vegetables and it gives the water flavour.  
Then we left it for three hours and the next day we ate it and it was delicious.

I have made vegetable soup, have you? 
On Monday we made some in Room 1.
First we harvested the vegetables from the garden. There was cauliflower, leeks, celery, cabbage, rainbow silverbeet, kumura and carrot.  
Next we grated the carrot.  I got carrot juice in my eye when it flicked in my eye.  After that we peeled the carrot. It looked like a long orange stick but it was slippery.  The rainbow silverbeet was colourful.  
After that we sat on the mat and Mrs Blakesley chose who could put some stock in.  Raiha put in some and Finley did. Finally we cooked it. 
The next day we made bread to go with our soup and then it was ready to eat because the vegetables were soft.
When we ate it, it was burning on my tongue but it was delicious!

Have you made vegetable soup before?  On Monday we made vegetable soup in Room 1.  
First we had to peel the slippery parsnip and I could hear scraping from the peeler.  It looked like a white carrot. Then we had to peel the lumpy potato and it looked like a head with no hair or eyes or nose or mouth.  The spots on the potato looked like freckles.  When we were grating the parsnip and potatoes we had to be careful of our fingers. After we finished grating I tasted the parsnip and it tasted like carrot.  Finally we put the veges into the pot with some vege stock to cook.  We had to cook it for 3 hours so we wouldn't have big chunks of veges.  It was cooking all day and it smelled delicious.  I couldn't wait to eat it I thought. Then the next day came and it was ready to eat.  It was so delicious.  I loved making vegetable soup.

On Monday we washed our hands and then Mrs McFadyen washed the celery and the leeks.  We were making vegetable soup.  Finley chopped the leeks first then I chopped them.  They were slippery.  Finley held them really still and then I cut them hard.  I was about to go to sleep but I didn't - I kept on doing cutting.  
We put the veges in the pot.  Then we put stock in and then we cooked it for a long time.
The next day we all ate the soup with a spoon. We had bread too.  It was delicious.

Sasha, the Cavoodle, visits Room 1


Sasha is a tiny puppy.  She is very fluffy like a cloud.  Sasha is 4 months old.  She is a Poodle crossed with a King Cavalier Charles Spaniel.  Sienna was scared of Sasha.  She is adorable and she is playful.  Her ears flop up and down like a bird wing going up and down in the sky.
Keiarliya



Sasha is very cute.  I wish I had a puppy like that.  She is black and brown.  She is soft and she is 4 months old.  She is soft like a pillow.  Her nose was shiny and slippery.  
Reese

 (Sasha ran so fast I kept missing her when I took the photos)!

Sasha is friendly and playful.  She is a puppy and she has a curly coat.  She has a very, very short tail.  The kind of puppy she is, is a Poodle mixed with a King Cavalier Charles Spaniel.  I like Sasha's coat.  It is black and tan.  
Maddie


Sasha's nose was shiny and wet and her coat was curly.  Her eyes are black and her tail was wagging fast.
Mana


Sasha has heaps of curly fur.  She ran to me and she jumped on me because she could smell my dog.  She is a Poodle and a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel cross.
Raiha


Sasha is a really fun dog because she is really playful!!!  She is really fluffy.  She is adorable.  When she jumped on people it was funny.
Coby


Sasha is 4 months old.  She is a puppy.  I liked giving her a tummy rub.  She is a Poodle mixed with King Cavalier Charles Spaniel.  She has floppy ears.  She has curly hair.

Room 1's Garden




I like gardening.  Today it was super fun planting the seedlings that we liked.  There was silverbeet and celery for eating in our sandwiches.  We will water them.  It was super fun planting them.  At morning tea we will use the hose to water the seedlings.
Written by Hunter

Today we planted some plants.  My favourite plant is the rainbow silverbeet.  It was drizzling.  I like planting plants.  We planted seedlings that were small.  We have got a lemon tree.  I have done lots of gardening at home.
Written by Sadie

Wow.  We did gardening.  We planted rainbow silverbeet and celery.  I like carrots.  I got a turn to plant my own plant.  I dug a hole for the plant to grow.  I planted a gigantic celery plant.
