We Ate Our Potatoes from the school Garden

Room 2 were lucky enough to have parents that helped supervise in cutting the potatoes into chips. While other students buttered the bread, one parent suggested that we cook our chips at Burnham Fish and Chip shop. Ashton, Marshall, Te Ao and Sydney took the chips to Burnham Fish and Chip shop to get cooked and brought the chips back wrapped in newspaper.

We believed the chips made from potatoes from our school garden were the best we had ever had. Room 2 would like to thank the parents and Burnham Fish and chip shop.

Room 2 Replanting School Garden




Today, Room 2 replanted the school garden after the potatoes were harvested at lunch time. We planted Beetroot, Cabbage, Lettuce and Leeks. We had to measure the correct distances between the plants as recommended on the labels.

The first thing we did was to prepare the for planting, was to weed the garden beds. Ben levelled the garden bed that had the potatoes.

Later On Mr Thurlow asked us to wash the potatoes from the garden in readiness to make chips for tomorrow and have chip and butter sandwiches.
