Enviro Kids Week 2 Term 3 2014

Kia Ora Whanau!

We were very busy this week picking parsley and spinach and making pesto and feeding our worms!

First we got the ingredients and the equipment.
 
 
 Abdul, Vin, Alexis and Imran picked some parsley. It was curly and flat leafed parsley. Then we washed it. We got out the earwigs and caterpillars.
 
 
Jayden picked some spinach.
 
We put all the ingredients in the blender and put the lid on. Then we mixed it all up till it was smooth.
Next Mrs Hart put some on a cracker for each of us.
"Nice," said Daina
"Magnifique!" said Jayden
"Delicious!" said Alexis
 
Here is the recipe:
Parsley Pesto
1 cup walnuts
2 cups parsley
half cup grated cheese
3 cloves garlic
half tsp salt
half cup olive oil
2 spinach leaves
juice of 1 orange
Place all ingredients in the blender and mix till smooth. Eat as desired.

Enviro Kids Weeks 8&9 Term 2 2014

Kia ora whanau!
Well, you will have noticed that we have had no entries on our blog for the past few weeks. This is due to very bad weather conditions preventing us doing much in the gardens and also our winter season.

We will be doing some more planting next week and harvesting our fabulous crop of parsley.

Watch this space!
