Harvesting Potatoes

We have been busy harvesting the potatoes we planted last session.  It was lots of fun scrubbing them and using them to create different snacks in nursery.  We have been learning about hygiene routines when preparing food.  Using peelers and knives has also given us the opportunity to use real utensils and we have learned about how to use them safely.

We enjoyed mashed potatoes with different toppings.  We also made delicious soup using some of the other vegetables we have grown.

The children have had lots of fun and have learned so much that we will be putting our skills to good use and developing or interests in cooking throughout Autumn.  Lots of family members have offered to help out and we look forward to making scones, cakes and pizzas.  Yum yum!
