We are lucky to have a Garden to Tables programme running at our school. Half our class work in the garden while the other half prepare and cook food in the kitchen. The session culminates with us all sitting down to a delicious meal.
The gardners did chores like pulling out weeds, trimming branches, collecting seeds, cleaning out the compost bins and spreading mulch. Hard physical work but very rewarding.
The cooks in the kitchen made a pasta dish with a tomato sauce. Others cooked kumara chips or made a rhubarb muffin. Cooking is a reading and maths activity. The recipies needed to be carefully followed, and the ingredients accutrately measured.
The result after an hours dedicated work was a scrumptious healthy meal. Hopefully, we can all go home and help with the gardening and cooking around the house.
