Kitchen Garden - potatoes!

Recently we had some time with Margaret and Kathy in the kitchen garden. As we were lucky enough to have them for both the morning and second block of the day, children could choose to do Kitchen Garden or Project Time for either or both of these sessions.

In the first session, we prepared roast potatoes. We cleaned the potatoes, picked rosemary, parsley and sage, peeled garlic and then mixed these through the parboiled potatoes and drizzled them with olive oil. In between all of this, we read “The Potato People” by Pamela Allen.













After recess, we admired and learned about the work that was done at the working bee, like the frog pond and plants. We also sowed some seeds and watered our plants on the terrace.






While we were eating our big lunch, Margaret and Kathy passed around trays of delicious roast potatoes. Yum!
