Making Soup Outside

Today at nursery we made delicious soup using vegetables we grew in our garden. We picked, washed and then chopped the vegetables to make the soup. We cooked the soup on our outdoor fire. Finally we ate the soup and it was delicious.

Through doing this activity our children learned

• where vegetables grow and how we help them grow
• ​lots of good words: chopping, stirring, tasting...
• mathematical vocabulary like more and less
• about being environmentally friendly by growing your own vegetables
• to share food on a social occasion
• the joy of enjoying hot soup on a cold winter's day
