Year 2 students have been working hard in the Kibbutz garden this term. They began by preparing and sowing the soil, learning how healthy soil helps plants grow.

The students were excited to dig up Jerusalem artichokes that had been growing underground. Today, they carefully harvested the vegetables and enjoyed discovering what was hidden beneath the soil.Another highlight was preparing freshly picked olives for pickling. The children learned about the process of curing olives and how this traditional food is prepared before it can be eaten.

Through these hands-on activities, the Year 2 students have gained valuable gardening skills and a deeper understanding of where food comes from.
