Yr 4 Potato and Leek Soup

In Term 2, our Year 4 students explored the captivating novel Birrung: The Secret Friend. To bring the story to life, they took themselves back in time and prepared a soup dish inspired by ingredients commonly used by both convicts and settlers in the 1700s.

Some students carefully washed and rinsed the potatoes and leeks, while others added a touch of flavour by sprinkling fresh herbs, and grinding salt and pepper into the pot. By the afternoon, they gathered to savour a delightful bowl of potato and leek soup, accompanied by tasty garlic bread.
