To complete their learning experience, Where does our food come from?, Blue class enjoyed a fun day at Tuppeny Barn. They enjoyed many fabulous hands on experiences, such as;
- making a plant pot from newspaper
- planting beans
- exploring the herb garden and creating sceneted sticky strips of herbs
- tasting rocket
- preparing vegetables for a soup and then enjoying eating the fruits of their labour
- cropping cavalo nero (a kale like vegetable) which were made into crisps which the children tasted
- looking at a compost heap and learning about how food biodegrades
- looking for signs of spring
The children had a wonderful but tiring day. The return coach trip to school was very quiet!
