2023 ELC - Year 4 Campus Kitchen Garden Carrot Harvest

2023 ELC - Year 4 Campus Kitchen Garden Carrot Harvest

Today, there was a hustle and bustle in the Canterbury Kitchen Garden and at our Early Learning Centre Garden.

With thousands of tiny green carrot tops swaying in the sunshine waiting to be picked.

Soon, a small flurry of small hands would dig up every single carrot as class after class swooped into our Kitchen Garden to collect as many as possible to boost the tally.

Our very busy Canterbury Chef Colin Mason informed us that the total collected was 8,677!‍

Bugs Bunny would be impressed!

Yesterday afternoon, our Years 11 and 12 French students took a short break from their exam preparations, and tried their hand at crêpe making.

Students learnt how to use the râteau à crêpes (crêpe batter spreader) and topped their creations with classic toppings - Nutella, sugar and lemon.

Délicieux!
