After investing weeks of dedicated effort, the children finally reaped the rewards of their hard work as they harvested the edibles they cultivated in the RN garden. Guided by both teachers and dedicated parent volunteers, the children wielded gardening tools with a sense of accomplishment, gathering the literal fruits of their labor. This collective endeavor not only showcased their determination but also instilled in them a deep sense of connection to the natural world.
Upon returning to the school, the children seamlessly transitioned into the next phase of their adventure. They took charge of the kitchen, transforming the harvested produce into yummy dishes. The menu featured a delightful array of dishes, including stir-fried sweet potato leaves, an apple and celery salad, and refreshing lemonade infused with mint. In the spirit of hands-on learning, the children actively participated by peeling the fibrous sweet potato leaves, meticulously cutting the apple, celery, and lemon, and even lending a hand in the cooking process.
With their classroom adorned with a handcrafted menu and a warm welcome banner, the children orchestrated the setup, arranging chairs to create an inviting atmosphere. The culmination of their efforts was a shared learning experience, as the teacher led a discussion during the food tasting session. This reflection on their journey not only enhanced their understanding of the process but also fostered a sense of accomplishment.
