Last week in Room 8, we made basil pesto together. The strong and unique smell of the fresh basil, parmesan cheese and the garlic provoked lots of oral language from the children. It was pleasing to see how well they worked together to make the pesto, being able to taking turns and accepting not being able to have a turn at every job. Being able to work together cooperatively and seeing things from each other's perspective has been a major focus in Room 8 this term, so it is wonderful to see that the children have been able to develop these abilities. The children were also fascinated and very satisfied in seeing the transformation of the raw ingredients into the pesto.
