Green Club cooks up its own grown greens

On the last Thursday that we were in school, the Green Club met in the Food room and Mrs Fisher showed us how to make crispy greens by cutting up greens and curly kale which had been grown by the girls at Green Club. We rubbed oil and sugar into the greens, then spread them out on a baking tray and we put them in a pre-heated oven on a very high temp for just a couple of minutes.

We were a little bit unsure what the outcome would be but by everyone’s admission, we all agreed that Mrs Fisher had surpassed herself. It was fantastic! What was left over was handed round to members of staff and no one said they did not like it; even Mrs Asante (who isn’t good with her greens) said it was tasty.

We are hoping to include more quick cooking sessions of what we have grown in the Green Club in the future when it is quiet in the garden. So, watch this space!

Over 1300 eBooks now available from the Library Catalogue

We have been able to add 1300+ eBooks to our Library Catalogue for the next three months (this will then be reviewed). So now there’s no excuse to not be reading whilst you’re staying home! (And you can also post reviews of the books you’ve read too.)

To access the eBooks, open the Library Catalogue AccessIT tile (found on your RMUnify dashboard). Log in via the SSO function under ‘Guest’ on the top right-hand side of the screen. Search for a book and if an eBook version is available you’ll find a record for it with a URL (web) link which you can click on and it will then give you the option to borrow it. Any questions, please email Mrs Roth.
