This term, 4 Buru is learning about informative texts in our writing unit, through the theme of food, also linking with our science unit. Each week, we will explore a different food item such as salt, tea, rice, cheese, honey, bread, and chocolate. In our first week back this term, we investigated salt—where it comes from, the way it is processed, how it was used throughout history by various cultures and civilisations. During the week, we experimented with watercolour artworks, using salt flakes, rock salt, table salt and Himalayan salt to create an interesting, rough texture.
