Last week, on Friday the 19th of July we had Garden. (This was the week we just came back from holidays.) My group (group 2) got to feed the chooks it was so great. As we entered the chook pen 3 eggs awaited us! We got them and put them in the fridge. Then we fertilized, planted snow peas, harvested spring onions and put them in a basket to be put into the fridge.
Today on Tuesday 23rd of July 2013 we had our Kitchen lesson. We cooked potato and leek pizza, tahini cookies, fattoush salad, silver beet and cheese pastry triangles and we preserved lemons. My group did the tahini cookies. We had a long process to finish our 40 cookies, including cooking for 14 minutes in the oven. Everybody loved all the food that was cooked but a lot of people were saying that the pizza was probably their favourite dish.

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!
