The second our class, 5B, arrived at the Kitchen Garden our whole class ran off to look at the chooks! They finally arrived on Tuesday May the 28th. There are 4 females. The male chook sare called roosters. The female chooks are called hens. There are 4 different garden groups per class and each group got a chance to go inside and look at the chooks. Some of the class fed the chooks roots of plants. The chooks loved the plants. Everybody started to crowd around the chooks pen, the chickens all fought to get the roots! When the chooks lay eggs, we go and collect them to use in the kitchen! You should definitely go and check out the wonderful chooks at Bialik College.

Kitchen Chaos.

Every 2 weeks on a Tuesday, we have a kitchen lesson. In our groups we cook different foods.  After they’re cooked and everything is cleaned, we get to eat all the food. This week, we made Pesto Pasta. We actually made it from dough. Some weeks we make desserts for example, mini cheese cakes. Every week we make healthy foods. This week, we made a delicious bean, fetta and dill dish.

The Chooks Have Finally Arrived at Bialik College

Every 2 weeks on a Friday, we have a garden lesson. In our groups we plant and harvest different fruit and vegetables. We also collect worm tea from the worms. A few groups fed the chooks and one group collected the eggs. All of the chooks were running all over the place. It was so much fun.

Cooking With Greens!

On Monday 3rd of June we had our kitchen class!

The menu was:

Fettuccine pasta which needed to get shredded before we could eat it. We made a basil pesto sauce that went with the pasta it was so delicious!

When we fried the spring onion patties you had to have golden and crispy sides. It was so yummy and CRISPY! We learnt that when you cut spring onions you can’t use the white part and the green ends.

Carrot, pita and a rocket and chickpea dip. The carrots were cut in a julienne style.

We wonder what we will produce in the kitchen next time!

Thank you to the volunteers for coming to the kitchen and helping us make the delicious food!

“I had a dream as a kid. Do you know what it means to have a dream?”

This is the question Nova Peris, (the Indigenous gold medallist athlete and, hopefully, soon to be the first Indigenous Senator) asked some of our lucky Year 6, 7 and 9 Bialik students when they met her on Friday 24 May.

This visit to Bialik was truly inspirational and Nova explained to our students that if you inspirational and Nova explained to our students that if you have a dream, you must pursue it and you can only achieve it through determination, perseverance and courage. Nova Peris is a wonderful great role-model to us all and we are truly grateful to have had the opportunity to meet her.

4C’s Kitchen Garden Session

When I walked into the fresh smelling garden there was a big surprise waiting for all of us. The chickens had finally arrived! Lucca

It was a sunny, late morning. I was excited after recess knowing I had a Garden lesson. When I walked in I saw a adults around the garden beds. Kevin and Steve were doing something in the chook pen and I saw some chickens. Julie discussed with us what we were doing today. Marley

As we were lining up to go into the chook shed I felt excited. Our teacher had to put her foot out so that the chickens wouldn’t escape. Sam and Marley tipped out a bag of food scraps for them to eat. I watched how one chicken stayed back because it was less dominant than the other three.  Jessica

My group was in charge of taking the temperature of the soil. There was a piece of paper that we recorded the temperature on. All of the beds had a similar temperature because they were all next to each other. After we all got to plant one tomato seedling each. They were very small. Amber

Teacher Naomi read out what group was doing what. I am in Group Four, we had to plant the potatoes. We made a hole in the ground and put the eye of the potato facing up. Each potato had to be planted a hand span apart. Paris

In conclusion I had a really fun time. My highlight was that I got to meet the chickens. My dislike was that near the wooden soil tubs there was manure. The lesson today was FUN!

In our kitchen garden session our group harvested and washed the beans and then we gave the beans to the class to eat. We also packed some seeds we collected for the fete 50 in each bag. We packed dill and sun flower seeds. Each week we learn different things.

Other groups learnt about, and found, the pH of the soil, mulched garden beds, harvested parsnips and turnips and planting celery and rocket seedlings that we have grown from seeds.

In this super garden, we do lots of fun activities. Today we dried rosemary and thyme, read and recorded the temperature of the soil, harvested turnips,chilli and beans, mulched the soil and planted celery seedlings. We actually found a cut worm which is very harmful to plants.To dry thyme and rosemary, you cut it, tie four in a bunch and suspend it in bags.We cut holes in the bags so we could see the thyme and rosemary as it dries. They looked like little charms.

In the kitchen we made even more great dishes . We found out that large turnips taste way more bitter than the small ones. We also found out that pomegranetes are extremely healthy, we made cheese and herb bread, cous cous with turnip and silverbeet, apple and quinoa muffins, eggplant with tahini and yoghurt sauce and salad with fresh greens.
