Silverbeet Pie Day!

Today the Volcano children got busy with a garden to table project. We had noticed that our gardens had been doing lots of growing and saw that we had oodles of silverbeet. Just the thing for a silverbeet and feta cheese pie thought one of the teachers.





We all headed out into the blustery morning to work out which plant was the silverbeet. Seth was able to point this out to us so then we all set about choosing two fabulous looking leaves to go into the pie. We stripped the leaves from the stalks, mixed up eggs and chunks of feta and placed this between buttered sheets of file pastry. Thanks to Sam and Swade for their help with preparing the filo. Into the oven went the pie and we set about writing our stories.





Later in the day the warm pie was ready to eat and everybody was brave enough to try it, even if it was just a lick! Some people enjoyed it so much they even had two pieces and we sent the rest over to the office for Mr Lewis and Mr K to try and after that there wasn't much left!

Great team work Volcano children ... I wonder what we can harvest next and make some tasty food with. I did spy some kale that would make some delicious kale chips. Any parents who would like to help with some garden to table projects, please let me know - it's not possible without your help. Thanks very much to those parents who took part today.
