Broad Bean Dip

Today we made broad bean dip with beans and garlic from the schools edible garden!

Lots of us weren't to sure about what it was going to taste like - but some were pleasantly surprised!

Growing your own food is lots of fun!


After making our dip we wrote about what we thought about it.

We made some dip. It was good I am going to get the recipe. Jack did not like the dip. He thought it was bad but it was good.

I smelt the broad bean dip. It smelt like rotten onion and looked like mash potato but I liked the cracker.

Method

1. Shell the beans and blanch for 2-3 mins until tender. Run under cold water then pop the inner beans out of their grey skins by making a small tear and squeezing gently (this isn’t essential for small beans, but for larger beans it makes the dish a brighter green as well as improving the taste and texture).
2. Place beans, garlic, cumin, lemon juice, olive oil and coriander in a food processor. Pulse a few times to combine, but keep the texture slightly chunky. You can use a potato masher if you prefer. Add salt and pepper to taste. Turn out onto a serving plate, drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with paprika or sumac. Serve with toasted pitta.

Term 4 Week 5

Hello and Welcome

There is always so many exciting things that happen in Term 4 and as the Term flies by I will try to share all the amazing things happening in Room 2.

We spent the first 2 weeks of Term learning about length in Maths time. We measured ourselves against    others in the classroom. We used language like - I am taller than ... and I am shorter than.

Here we are getting lined up form shortest to tallest.

We have now moved on to Addition and Subtraction and are enjoying beginning this unit.

Last week we had the school disco which was very exciting!

 Kaylee and Ava looking fabulous!

 Chali and Ella all dressed up for dancing!

Every Wednesday we have Discovery Time with Room 1 which we LOVE! Learning through play is a really important and a fun way of learning new skills!

Heres a few pictures from this week: 

 Making Peacock Fans.

 The boys and their castle. This was an amazing piece of construction!

 Renee and Talei looking gorgeous in their dress ups.

We were also lucky enough to have an author called Rebecca Metcalf come in and read her book ' The girl who loved to sing' to the class today. It was a lovely book and the children enjoyed asking her lots of questions about being an author. 

This weeks Star of the Week was Kaylee! She is always working hard in the classroom and trying her best! We can't ask for more than that. Well Done Kaylee!

Coming up:

Tuesday 19th - Athletics Day - Please come along and support your children. It should be a great day!

Every Friday - Whole School Assembly
