Frittata

 

Year 6 had a smashing time during the last week of this term using the eggs laid by the Wicor hens.  30 eggs were laid during our week, and so we all learnt how to make frittata.  To give it a really 'home grown' feel, we also used peppers and onions from the allotment.  The recipe was:

 

Ingredients:

1 onion (chopped into small pieces)

1 sweet pepper (sliced into small pieces)

4 eggs

100g feta cheese

 

Method:

 

Switch the oven onto 180/160 Fan/gas mark 4.

 

Grease a 16 cm round dish which is suitable for the oven.

 

Slice the onion and pepper, and fry gently in a pan.

 

Crumble the feta cheese in a bowl.

 

In a separate bowl whisk the 4 eggs until fully combined.

 

Tip the eggs, onion and pepper into the bowl with the cheese and mix well.

 

Gently pour into the greased dish and bake for 30 minutes until golden around the edges and the egg is set in the middle.

 

Cut into portions, eat with a side salad and enjoy.

 

 

 

Everyone ate a portion of the frittata they had made straight from the oven.  Delicious!

 

 



6N Has The Reins

It's our turn to look after the hens and we quickly identified our hen as the one with the black tag.  Unfortunately, she still remains nameless but not for long as the naming ceremony is soon.  We loved the hens because they are so soft and sometimes they let you pick them up (although Brandon has to chase them a bit first....).  In the end we had over 30 eggs laid in our week, and we will be cooking up frittata over the next few weeks using vegetables from our allotment as well.

We went out twice a day to keep them entertained - we did try singing and dancing, which they appreciated greatly.  We can't wait for our turn again. 

Happy laying ...

3N's week in the hen house

We were very excited when it was our turn to look after the chickens.
Every day a group went to look after them.  We had to feed them and make sure they had enough fresh water to drink as well as clean the hen house.  We also had to check that there were no holes in the fence that a fox could get through.  Most importantly we had to check for eggs.

Even the hens wanted to help clean up!

Our ENORMOUS egg!

It turned out to have two yolks. 

 

 

We are looking forward to the next time we get to look after the chickens - hopefully they will all have names by then.
