This morning we were lucky enough to have ten grandparents come in to our classroom to tell us stories from when they were growing up. Some other grandparents who live far away, or who couldn't make it today, sent us stories and interviews to share. We invited them in to help us answer our big Rich Task question:
"Some people think we are made of flesh and blood and bone, but I think we are made of stories...." who keeps the stories alive?
We heard about cats getting milk straight from the cows, a game called Rounders, pedal cars on the roof of the Farmers' building, children getting milk given to them at school every day, milk being delivered by a horse and cart, broken collarbones from falling out of trees, playing cowboys and Indians, maths being called arithmetic, smudging ink when writing stories, riding horses to school and lots of other amazing stories.
We shared some food we had made with the grandparents to say thank you to them for coming. We had savoury muffins with spinach, broccoli and spring onions from our garden, beetroot and chocolate cake with beetroot from our garden (it was so delicious no one could believe it had beetroot in it!) and fresh carrots, celery and broccoli from the garden with hummous. It was a wonderful morning!
