5A in the garden.

On Monday the 19th of August Year 5A had their garden lesson as part of the Kitchen Garden Program. In the garden our group, 5 of us, got to feed the chooks and collect the eggs. This process involves getting the scraps from the kitchen and tuckshop/shuk. We had to be careful not to put any eggshells and teabags on the ground for the chooks to eat. These are not appropriate food for them. When we collected the eggs we had to go into the chook house and take them out. We had to be careful not to hit our heads on the roof or drop the eggs. After we did that we had to build a t-pee. We built this because the peas like to climb up the t-pees. Under the t-pee we sowed snow peas.

 

 

5B in the kitchen and the garden

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.
