Sushi Making in Japan Week

2S were very lucky this morning to have Helen O' Neil come into our classroom to show us how to make sushi, which is a traditional Japanese dish.

We started by chopping up some vegetables into thin strips.

Then we got a nori sheet (made from seaweed) and flattened down some sticky rice to cover the nori sheet. We flattened it with our fingers so we needed some water to stop it from sticking to our fingers.

After that we chose what vegetables we wanted to go in our sushi and rolled it up. 

Finally Helen cut up the big roll into 6 smaller rolls for us and some of us tasted the sushi. We even tried using chop sticks after Helen showed us what to do. 

Thank you very much Helen for showing us how to make sushi today!
