Colourful Vegetables and Homemade Basil Ice Cream

A successful and busy month at St. Thomas More Catholic School!

We have harvested so many colourful vegetables which had been planted in term one, the children couldn’t believe that carrots can come in different colours but they found out really quick that they all taste just as delicious as the ordinary orange ones. It is a real art to grow straight carrots as they also can turn out too skinny or too crooked but most of them were picture perfect, great job kids!

As we are going into winter the basil had its last days…and before it goes into the compost we picked the last remaining leaves and made, you won’t believe it, basil ice cream!

Sceptical faces - “How would this taste ?”

We made a whole batch and froze it for the next day for the annual cross country event and after that it was the perfect refreshment….was it yum ? The answer was, “Nina, it wasn’t good…it was delicious !”
