Last week we prepared, cooked and enjoyed eating our starter course of vegetable soup made from fresh, locally sourced ingredients.

This week we have enjoyed preparing, cooking and tasting a main course of mince, tatties, cabbage and parsnip, again all from locally sourced ingredients.  As you can see from these bowls everyone enjoyed our taster meal leaving nothing for the leftovers bin!

So watch this space to see what the last group will make for our pudding!

Here are the lovely fresh vegetables we got from Mrs Leslie when we visited the farm. We decided to make some vegetable soup with them. Everyone had a job to do: cleaning, peeling, slicing, chopping, measuring, mixing and washing up. We boiled the beetroot separately. Then we tried our soup and had a taste of the fresh beetroot.  We still have a carrot, cabbage, parsnip, neep and some tatties left to cook something else with!

Primary 4/5 enjoyed a super visit to Scholland farm on Tuesday 3rd September where they learned about the journey of food from farm to fork.  They learned lots about the work on a farm. They enjoyed seeing:  the combine at work cutting the barley, the animals including a demonstration by Jet the sheepdog  and the machinery .  Mrs Leslie even dug up some lovely fresh vegetables for us to take back to school.
