We are very lucky to have gotten the chance to make soup in class this morning. We brought in some vegetables and equipment from home.

Three lovely parents came in to help us make the soup. It was really delicious!! We even had brown bread and croutons, yum! Yesterday we made vegetable soup.

We went out into the school garden to pick some fresh vegetables and we also brought some in from home. To make our soup we used potatoes, carrots, parsnips, leeks, celery and onions. We washed all the vegetables, peeled them and cut them and placed them all into one big pot. The vegetables were then boiled and when soft, blended together. We added a stock cube, cream, salt, pepper and curry powder at the end. Kate's dad also sent in some delicious brown bread for us to have with our soup. We really enjoyed making the soup and it was so delicious. We would like to say a big thank you to Kathleen, Gail and Dolores for all their help! Today we were helping out in the school garden to make our plot look nice for Easter. We removed all the weeds and picked some strawberry plants. Our plot is looking really good now. We'd like to say thanks to the parents who helped out! Today we went out into the sunshine to sow seeds. We each got our own pot and sowed baby carrots, runner beans and cress. We watered them and have them left in the sunlight to help them grow. We are looking forward to taking care of our pots and watching our seeds grow. We visited the school garden on Friday. Everyone planted a potato and did some weeding. Have a look at us busy at work: We thoroughly enjoyed our preparations this term for Mother's Day.
