A culinary delight for Year 8 Language students

Year 8 recently had one of the best experiences in our Japanese class, a yakisoba cooking incursion! Some professional chefs came in and taught us how to make this awesome Japanese noodle dish. All the ingredients were already prepared for us, so we got straight into cooking it ourselves. We even wore chef hats and aprons, which made us think we were real chefs and made this even more exciting. It was exciting to cook the noodles, sauce, and veggies and see everything come together. The smell while we cooked was amazing. We had so much fun learning new skills and seeing how food connects to Japanese culture.

The best part? Getting to eat the yakisoba we cooked, it was absolutely delicious! This incursion was definitely one of the highlights of the term, and we’d love to do something like it again.

This term in Japanese, our Year 8 class took part in an exciting incursion where we got to cook Yakisoba, a popular Japanese stir-fried noodle dish. We were really looking forward to it, and it definitely didn’t disappoint! The vegetables were already pre-cut, so we focused on cooking the meat and noodles ourselves.

It was such a fun and hands-on experience, and the amazing smell made us even more excited to try it. The final result was delicious, and it was a great way to learn about Japanese culture through food.

Bonjour! Year 8 French classes were able to participate in an incursion, taking a look at the French food and culture. This was a very fun and interesting experience. We were taught how to make traditional French crepes and could see them being cooked right in front of us. It was very exciting to be involved, the instructors were very kind and helped us to cook and even spoke to us in French words, expanding our French vocabulary! The best part was when we got to eat them!
