Year 4s GREEN TOMATO PICKLES Our garden has finished its summer crop of vegetables and the unripened tomatoes were picked to make pickles. Pickles have lots of onions in them and Mrs Ellison cut up the onions for us because they make you cry a lot. We put tomatoes, sultanas, sugar and lots of spices together and cooked them until they were soft. We added vinegar and peppercorns. We had to put the mixture into sterlised jars so we put them into the dishwasher on a hot wash cycle. When the mixture cooled we tipped it into the special jars. We had lots of fun but our classroom smelled spicy for a long time. Year 4 student.

ALL CLASSES We made special pages in a book for Mrs Wood because she is going away from the college to work with her husband. She isn't even going to teach children any more. I think Mrs Wood might miss us because she always walks around the playground talking to kids. We are really going to miss Mrs Wood too because she has been at the college a long time and she was here when I started prep. I rememeber she rang my mum when I threw up. She was even here when my brother was in prep and he is in secondary now. Year 4 student.
