Citrus crazy and the Root to Tip Competition

Meadowbank School (and Mrs Masters and Mrs Crews especially) are super proud of the 2 teams that made it into the Regional finals of the annual Root to Tip competition roottotip.org.nz open to all Year 5 and 6 children nationwide. The judges were highly impressed with the talents of all the participants and although they didnt make it through to the final they should be so pleased and proud of their achievements. We were impressed with their skills and the the knowledge they have of using seasonal food from the root to the tip!We are also proud of the many teams that entered but didnt make it through. Well done to all.
The citrus fruit this year is amazing. We have lots of lemons on our own school trees and have been gifted lots more lemons, grapefruit, oranges, tangeloes and limes.
We used them in the kitchen to make a delicious lemon curd that we served on homemade mini pancakes. Lemon cordial, crunchy lemon muffins and lime shortbread have also been on the menu.
Braised seasonal vegetables with coconut and coriander rice was popular too. Gardeners harvested 15-19 different vegetables from the garden for this dish!
