Mead Room





Dear Families and Friends,
This week we are starting off our journey from “Paddock to plate” in the Mead Room. As a starting point we are discussing the food that we eat at Kindy and then thinking about what different foods there are and where they come from.
One day Mr Rob cooked us Shepherd’s Pie. We discussed where our food came from…..
Beef comes from a cow.
Carrots grow in the ground – Angus
No carrots grow on a bush - Tom
Peas grow in a pod that grow on a bush – Angus
Gravy mixes in with the meat- Tom
Potatoes grow in the ground – Angus
Today Mr Rob cooked us Tacos! We discussed where the food came from…
Beef or “sloppy meat” as Tom calls it! Comes from cows – Tom
Tomatoes grow on a bush above the ground– Alex
Lettuce grow on the ground – Henry
Cucumber grows on the top of the ground on a vine – Alec
Capsicum grows on a bush – Tom
Taco shells come from corn on the cob that has been all mushed up.
The children are very excited that we are making our own Mead Room bakery….. watch this space!
Many Thanks,
Emma, Pip and Amelia
