Shallot and Garlic - An Indonesian Folktale

As part of international week, Matisse class looked at Indonesia. Adrian's Grandmother gave us a fantastic story from the islands about Garlic - a hardworking character and Shallot - a lazy and greedy character. At the end of the story they collected a pumpkin. Garlic picked a small one which was filled with jewels and shallot picked the biggest in the garden which turned out to contain scorpions and snakes. We created some artwork from the story and Adrian's grandmother came to our class on Friday to cook us an indonesian dish - tofu omelette. We all tried some and it was delicious!
