P45 have been doing an IDL this term on harvest.\u00a0 We looked at harvest from the land and the sea.\u00a0 We made mini carrot cakes using local carrots, we used the graters and peelers safely and responsibly. \ud83e\udd55 \ud83e\udd55\ud83e\uddc5We are learning to use different cooking skills, and we explored two different methods of cutting using a knife. We made soup using a lot of local produce, grown in Port Ellen.<\/p>\n
The children met Fiona from Islay Natural Heritage Trust who helped us forage for seaweed in our local environment. We found lots of seaweed and used a key to identify the species. We then learnt that you can cook using lots of different types of seaweed and we made Carrageen pudding, the seaweed made it go really thick, like jelly! lots of use tried our pudding and some fried seaweed, there were mixed reviews!<\/p>\n
\ud83e\udd3f Gordon visited us to talk to use about diving around Islay and Jura for scallops. We learnt about what we can harvest from the Sea. Gordon showed us his diving equipment and even allowed us to have a shot of his goggles!\ud83e\udd9eWe also tasted a range of produce that is harvested from the sea around Islay. We tasted mackerel pate, scallops and lobster. Laurie\u2019s Dad kindly allowed us to see a lobster that he caught in his fishing boat. Laurie showed the class and talked about what his Dad catches and how the boat catches different shellfish. \ud83e\udd9eAfter tasting we voted on our favourite food and created bar charts to display our findings.<\/p>\n
The children worked hard to create lovely invitations inviting parents to our Harvest Lunch on Wednesday 2nd October and we even wrote our own prayer.\u00a0 Our invited guests, which included the OAP lunch club, came along to eat the lovely soup and crumble we had prepared with local ingredients.\u00a0 All the classes performed for them and a great time was had by all!![\"\"](\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/ab\/public\/peps\/uploads\/sites\/1008\/2024\/10\/25093649\/f96f33d0-d6ec-4bc2-9afc-094c91495364.jpg___1729407965___1209600___1___bPMK4AcRj7Ir9g7YKG-I07N9OagOjKLpIxKN3Xxu9Joe0vrQDQ6WxWIo2kf8O7muXP-09Hzq_Ym8mi5MK9jqJA.jpg\")
