Stephanie Alexander Garden 

Stephanie Alexander Kitchen Garden with 3/4C

Welcome back to Term 2 and welcome to Autumn. How nice to start the new term with a few rays of sunshine and the leaves starting to change colour.  Before the holidays the St MArk’s Eco team got together for a meeting and for a school environmental clean up.  Our student volunteers put on their special vests and wandered around the school picking up any rubbish they found.  Thanks ECO Team for keeping our school environment clean and tidy.  

This week we commenced back in the garden and kitchen with 3/4C.  The students were amazing at looking at which leaves belonged to weeds and which leaves were a vegetable plant.  We have had some little tomato seedlings pop up in random spots so we had to be sure we weren’t pulling out any plants that could possibly grow into something edible.  In the kitchen we cooked up a feast with Melissa, Nikki Sensei, Ros (Zoe’s Mum), Julie (Hayden’s Mum) and Tash (Quade’s Mum).  Together we made guacamole, Vegemite scrolls, Potato salad and a chunky vegetable Frittata.  The Frittata had so many yummy veggies in it.  Many of those were from our garden too.  We still have another five weeks with 3/4C if you are interested in helping in the kitchen on a Tuesday. 

Have a great week!
