This week, Elm Tree took part in their annual Mini Chef day.
The children in Elm learnt about seasonality and the benefits of eating seasonally before creating their very own seasonal recipe. Based on what they had learnt, the children designed their own 'curry casserole' using a range of vegetables that are currently in season.
They then chopped all the vegetables needed for the curry casserole and cooked it, first boiling the potatoes and carrots and frying the onions and garlic.
Pupils also looked at food miles, calculating how far each food item in the recipe had to travel to make it to Bannockburn.
The children had a great day and said their curry casserole tasted 'amazing'! It was also super healthy - with 2 servings of vegetable in each portion!
