Kitchen and Garden News

Our lovely chickens have been busy free ranging and scratching in the grassy patch next to the coup. In return, we are getting plenty of consistently large eggs for the cooking programs. Some of our students have enjoyed helping with rounding the girls up at the end of the day whilst others are enthusiastically keeping an eye on the girls during lunch and recess breaks.

In the garden, we got our hands dirty and our muscles working by moving the soil from the disused beds behind the houses into the large new bed located next to House One. For now, we have one full bed planted with zucchinis, the others will be filled in the coming weeks and hopefully planted with some of our Woolworth’s Discovery Garden seedlings collected by our Brookside families.

Have you been past to check out the SAKG wall display created using the Woolworths Discovery Garden decorations? It certainly is now colourful and inviting kitchen space for our Year 3 students to enjoy.

The students are continuing to work on their kitchen skills making bread rolls and soups whilst learning to identify a range of herbs and vegetables harvested from the garden.

It’s also great to see our regular parent volunteers enjoying learning new recipes and techniques whilst helping our Year 3 students cook some delicious food.

What students from 3D had to say about our cooking in Week 3

Today we used onion, capsicum, broccoli, spring onion and pumpkin to make a Pumpkin Stir fry. Bhagya

To make the egg noodles, we used flour, bi-carbonate soda, eggs and corn flour. First we mixed the ingredients together to make a dough, then we put it through the pasta machine to make a thin sheet then we cut the sheet into noodles. Celina.

Our group prepared the veggies first, then we cracked the eggs and fried them to make an omelette. Then we stir fried the vegetables and added the rice and Asian sauces to make Nasi Goreng. Anika

Until next time, happy cooking and gardening!
