On Friday August 30th we went to the Kitchen Garden. I’m in Group 1 and we gave the chooks some food and water. It was hard to fill up the chicken’s drinking place with enough water for them to last the weekend but not to overflow it. We collected the 3 eggs they had laid.

Next, we cut the best Rocket leaves off its plant. It was surprising that the leaves didn’t have to be so big.

As it is getting closer to summer, we are about to grow some pumpkins and capsicums  by planting seeds out of actual pumpkins and capsicums!  We filled seed trays with seed-raising mix, put the seeds in and labelled the tray by writing the name of the plant on a popsicle sticks.

On the 3rd of September, we went to the kitchen and my group, group 4, made gnocchi. We got flour, mashed potato and eggs and kneaded them all together. We found it hard not to crack the eggs on our shoes! We next rolled little bits of the mixture up into sausage-like shapes and cut them into gnocchi sized pieces. We cooked them and they were ready to eat. Out of all the things on the menu (Gnocchi with a tomato sauce, Beetroot and Balsamic risotto, salad with Japanese dressing and Honey Cupcakes) my favourite was the honey cupcakes.
