Creating a new garden with plants.

On Monday a reading group went down to the gardens to plant some new plants.
The teacher wanted them to grow these plants so that they could learn how to pickle and preserve them.
They planted beetroot, spinach, cauliflower and Peas. Yum.
The children each took turns planting. They dug a hole then took a plant out
Of the container to put in the hole. After they put the plants in the garden, they watered them so that they stayed alive. They had to use worm fertilizer to water and feed the plants. It will take a while for the plants to grow so the class will need to keep taking care of them. We are looking forward to watching them grow.

Cooking the Garden

A group of children from our class decided to use the last of vegetables left in their garden. What was left were leaks and flat leaf parsley. They decided to make pinwheel scones from these veggies.

They picked, they washed, they chopped, they fried and then they mixed all the ingredients together.

All that was left to do was to cook them.

When they were cooked the children got to eat these delicious pinwheels. They were the best treats made so far. All that was left was smell of the warm pinwheels from the oven.

Soccer Training

We are lucky to have Dave and James from Soccer South coming to us each Thursday afternoon to take us through some soccer skills. Warming up is important before we start and some of our feet get tangled up with the cones. Dribbling and having ball control has been the focus of the last 2 sessions. We are looking forward to learning more.
