Thankful Thursdays
The day sees us turn donated produce into new foods like jam and curd. A core part of our curriculum is teaching sustainability by making food with what is available or grown in the garden. Another important aspect is creating a sense of community and teaching the value of sharing through a donations table where produce and clothes are donated.We brought these values together and turned fruit and vegetables donated by whānau and our community into jams, relishes and lemon curd on Thankful Thursday this month.
The children were part of the entire process and showed a lot of enthusiasm.They made a month-worth of jams and relishes which turned out to be too much for all our families so we took the opportunity to teach the children about giving back.
