Cauliflower Soup for Room 7

Today Room 7 created and consumed curried cauliflower soup! At morning tea, Olivia, Dan, Sam, Kahu and Ngaire , chopped onions, cauliflower(harvested from Friday), and saute'd it all in butter and curry powder. Next they added chicken stock, water and the soup cooked until everything was soft. The staff room smelt devine, and many of the staff passing through stared longingly into the cooking pot, hoping for a try of the left overs! But it was not to be.

The mixture was then whizzed up, milk and flour added ( to thicken slightly), and served up at lunch time.

All but two members of the class were keen to try the soup, and second and third helpings were soon being served up! The pot was soon empty!

Well done Room 7. What great risk takers! Lovely new flavours to try at home.

Catch Up

Today we were busy with a bit of a clean and tidy up of some of the gardens in front of the senior classrooms. The Green team members of Rooms 10 and 11 weeded the beds outside their rooms, while Room 9 members weeded some of the vegetable garden and put fresh compost in the beds outside Room 4. The Juniors are planning to plant up their beds over the winter!

After lunch Mrs Douglas and her lovely Room 7 Juniors came out to weed more of the vegetable garden. Hannah and Sean from Room 10 demonstrated how the compost collection system turned food scraps into wonderful growing material.

Room 7 harvested cauliflowers, cabbages, tomatoes, beans, and the odd strawberry!

I think there will be a wee feast had early next week.!!
