Garden to Table

This week was our first "Garden to Table" for term 3. Our class was split into two groups, one group went and worked in the garden, even though it was really wet with Mrs Masters and the other group worked in the kitchen making herb pikelets, silverbeet dip and kumera au gratin with Mrs Slyvester. This was my first "Garden to Table" afternoon and I was very impressed with the amazing gardeners and chefs that were in room 15, they certainly were experts and I am looking forward to our next "Garden to Table" in two weeks.

Some of the students have created their first photostory, we hope you enjoy it, I think they have worked extremely hard and have used very clear voices.

Thanks
Mrs P
