Harvesting and Soup making at school.
On
Thursday 19th September children from 1st, 2nd
and 3rd class went out to the school garden to harvest it. They went
out in groups with Gill and Sarah our S.N.A. Each group got a turn to harvest.
The vegetables they have in the garden are: carrots, potatoes, onions,
beetroot, runner beans, peas, strawberries, garlic, wild flowers and
sunflowers.
After
the vegetables was all picked 4th, 5th and 6th
class made soup. First we washed and sorted the crops. Next they set up the gas
stove which Mrs. Lawson brought in. After that she called out some people to
come peel carrots and chop onions. Each group did something. They first put
butter in the pan and onions and carrots and sweat the vegetables. Then put the
rest of the cropped vegetables in. When they were soft and cooked it was
smoothed with a blender and served out.
Caroline
Mullally brought extra bowls and spoons and Mrs. Binions class made brown bread
to eat with the soup. The children loved their soup.
