Listen to Mrs. Holmes read ‘We are the Gardeners’ by Joanna Gaines

Today we are introducing you to our Inquiry focus for next term which will explore the way in which food makes its way from the Farm to our Fork.

Today we would like you to think about your first Inquiry task which is called - The POT TO PLATE Project.

For this project we would like you to select a vegetable, fruit or herb to plant and grow throughout Term 4. We will water and care for our plants at school. In the final week of term we will harvest our plants and make recipes using the ingredients that we have grown in our pots.

Activity:
Task One:
Today we would like you to PLAN which herb, fruit or vegetable that you would like to grow. Use the planting guide to help you choose a plant in season.

Task Two:
We would like you to find a recipe that would use that ingredient and write or print it. The website below has thousands of recipes to explore.

Task Three.

Design a label for your pot so that when it comes to school - we know that it is yours. It would be great if your label was weatherproof, so maybe you could use a piece of wood or material.

In the next week or over the school holidays we would like you to plant your ingredient in a labelled pot that you are happy to bring to school in Week Two.
