Bumper harvest at school this year

The oats planted this spring have definitely ripened. We harvested them today and have put them in the greenhouse to properly dry out. Then we'll thresh them to remove the actual oats and hopefully make some very tasty oat cakes!


 
We have had a really successful harvest at school this year, as Ms Avery and Ms Stuart are demonstrating, with multi-coloured carrots, beetroot, tomatoes, peppers, courgettes, fresh herbs like basil and more!  All of them have been used to cook up some delicious and healthy dishes in Health & Food Technology classes.
