Learning Objective: To draw on knowledge and experience of texts in deciding and planning what and how to write.

What do you see?

Who do you think the cooking pot belongs to? and why?

You're right... it belongs to the Giant!

The Giant is always hungry and the Giantess is running out of recipes for the Giant, so they want our help!

In today's lesson we are going to look at various recipes, and study them. Identify what comes frist and what comes last. 

We're going to make our own recipe for the Giant. The Giant doesn't like foods that us humans eat, so think of something outside the box. 

See the worksheet attached below. Again there is no expectation to print the worksheet, you can just write it within your exercise books.

I'm looking forward to reading your recipes on Purple Mash!

Today and next week we are learning to use papier mâché to create a sculpture.

Have you ever used papier mâché before? What did you make?

Explain what papier mâché is and how it can be used.

Explain that today children will be creating their own papier mâché sculptures using recycled materials.

We are going to make a piñata, that they use in South America for children’s birthdays. Does anyone know what a piñata is?

Watch this video which shows you how to make one.

Or follow these instructions:

Step 1 – Mix one part water with one part flour to create paste.

Step 2 – Blow up balloon and cut newspaper into strips.

Step 3 – Dip newspaper strip into paste, squeezing off excess paste. Apply to balloon.

Step 4 – Repeat Step 3, layering newspaper on until the balloon is covered three to four layers deep. Leave an opening at the top for candy.

Step 5 – Let dry for at least 24 hours. Then pop the balloon and decorate!

This lesson will take 2 weeks, as we will be decorating the pinatas next week.
