Garden to Table - Term 3 round up - Room 2 & Room 17

 Room 2 and Room 17 had a busy term in Garden to Table and the year 6 students were sad when their last session came. 

  

Over the term they have...
* learnt about pest control by making snail / slug traps (a very popular activity!)
* cooked food from different cultures to celebrate Tonga and Chinese language week. 
* had a 'kūmara' themed week to use up our kūmara stash
* chopped up and shared delicious excess citrus fruit; grapefruit and oranges. 

All our recipes for the term can be found HERE
More can be found on the 'recipes' tab of this blog too. 







We were kindly given a large number of oranges that were so juicy and sweet! 
Victoria also brought in lots of citrus fruit from her fruit trees too. 




Students enjoyed making flower posies for the dining tables


Chinese dumplings! Yum!





Students listed their favourite garden activities and kitchen foods. 

The favourite garden activity was harvesting. Others also commented they enjoyed; looking for snails / slugs, planting and weeding. 

In the kitchen a whole range of different foods was listed as the students favourites. Below is the top 5.
1. Herby Breadsticks
2. Kale Chips
3. Chocolate Bliss Balls
4. Chop Suey
5. Beetroot Brownies.
