As always, there
were countless memorable moments.
This sequence of
photos of Jo shows how he was able to make pasta dough almost completely
independently – cracking the eggs, adding ingredients to the food processor,
mixing the dough and then kneading it. It also shows how much he enjoyed it
once it was cooked!
The baby chicks
and the chicken house still attract a huge amount of interest. Our chicks are
now four weeks old and are already ‘roosting’. We have had to purchase larger
food containers because of the huge amounts that they are now eating! They are
still living in their apple crate as they do not have full sets of feathers.
Next term we will move the apple crate into the chicken house and let them roam
around a little during the day-time. Several of our students are now very happy
to let the chicks feed from their hands and some have started to do jobs associated
with the chicks such as re-filling food and water containers.
I have been given
some photos from previous weeks that I would like to include. Here are some
great photos of Patrick grouting our mosaic table.
I plan to
encourage staff to try to include more numeracy in the kitchen and garden
classes. In this photo it can be seen that Louise and Jo have already taken
this on-board when counting out the fifteen peppercorns that were added to the
Kashmiri Vegetable Curry last week.
Pizza has been as
popular as ever this term – great work from Thomas D and Joseph in particular.
Lots of good
gardening work was done this week despite some very wet weather. Tom D, Tom B
and Cameron B did a lot of mulching; we harvested broccoli and onion sprouts
and also did some watering.
The happy faces
that we see during cooking sessions and the way that our students participate
with such great enthusiasm continue to inspire us.
Particularly
pleasing moments this week included:
Thomas working out
how to use the lemon press
