Kitchen Garden

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.

Our Kitchen Garden Opening

The year 4 and 5 students, together with their teachers, parents, grandparents and a large member of the community, enjoyed a celebratory afternoon in the Kitchen Garden where they were able to share their experiences of the Kitchen Garden Program alongside each other.

The students also acted as excellent hosts for the school by engaging with the guests as well as serving delicious pizza to everyone topped with grated pumpkin, caramelised onion, lemon zest and rosemary pesto, tomato and mozarella. They also demonstrated activities such as harvesting, worm farm demonstrations and planting seedlings.

The afternoon continued with a blessing for the kitchen through what is called a ‘Mezuzah Ceremony’. This was done by placing a piece of parchment inscribed with specified Hebrew verses from the Torah and affixing it to the doorframe of the kitchen.  

The ceremony ended with the students serving delicious treats that they had been preparing throughout the day such as zucchini and cheese muffins topped with sunflower seeds, pumpkin filo pies, silver beet frittatas as well as mini carrot cakes with cream icing.

It was such a successful launch.
