PIGS! PIGS! PIGS!

Today we finally got to finish making our pigs.  We added the tails and ears...

And here they are...

Do you know what a group of pigs is called?  A group of young pigs is called "a drift" or "a drove" or " a litter".  A group of older pigs is called a "sounder"! 

The pigs went home today!

Growing Chefs - all about vitamins!

Look at our garden growing!  We have beans almost ready to eat!  There are many hanging on the plants now!

The radish leaves are ready for us to pick and eat.

This is the lettuce we are growing.  We will be eating these today.

Here we are - snipping off the leaves of the beets for our salad!

Everyone got a chance to add greens to our salad.

Our chefs came for another visit today.  Our lesson was all about vitamins and how they help our body.   See what vitamins we get from our salad ingredients...

We learned that different vitamins help us in different ways... they give us strong bones and teeth, good eye sight, help our blood clot, and fill us with energy!

Here are the ingredients we need for our salad dressing...

And here are the salad greens...all ready for us to make our own salads!

We top our salads with the salad dressing we help make! 

Look at these  "mouth-watering" salads!

EVERYONE tried the salads and MANY of us went back for seconds!!  What a FUN and NUTRITIOUS day!!!

Our Pigs are "getting some colour"!

Our paper mache pigs are dry and ready to be painted!    We could choose whatever colour we wanted.

Adding some personality...

We finished painting our pigs!  Now they are drying.  We can't wait to add the finishing touches...tails and ears!!

Orion and the dark

Today we had a BLG reader named Negar.  She read a book called Orion and the dark. 

The photo on the top is the front cover the one the on the bottom is our favourite page.  This book is about Orion being scared of everything.  If it sounds good to you read it.

Growing Chefs

Our chefs came back for another great lesson!  Today we learned all about seeds and different types of lettuces.  There were so many seeds and lettuces to try!

The first challenge was to see if we could match the seeds on one tray with the foods on the 2nd tray!  We ALL knew the popcorn seeds, but the rest of the seeds were trickier!  There were sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, hemp, chia, and sesame seeds.

Can you tell which seed is which??

A feast waiting for all of us to try!  The salad greens included sprouts, peas shoots, arugula and romaine.  AND, our chefs even made some humus for us to enjoy with our salad!  Everyone was so adventurous and tried everything on the plates.  One of our favourite seeds was CHIA!!
