Last Tuesday when we visited the Apple Barn we all tasted Jona Gold apples. They were juicy, crisp and nice and cold. We learned about where apples grow, how they are made into cider at the farm and about the different things we make using apples.
The Apple barn gave us a bag of apples to take home and after we did an apple investigation in class we decided to make a batch of apple sauce. On Thursday morning after discussing safety around using a slow cooker, knife and washing our hands we set out to make applesauce. To save time Ms. Pasqualetto peeled the apples and all the student helped to slice them using an apple slicer and then helped to dice some of the slices into pieces using a butter knife.
The apple pieces were set to cook in the slow cooker for 4 hours! hoping to be turned into some delicious apple sauce that we would eat during our centres time in the afternoon. Unfortunately our applesauce sampling would have to be delayed by a day though due to a three hour power outage in the area. The class finally had a chance to taste our class made applesauce on Friday and the general consensus was a two thumbs up!
Thanks for taking the time to make the apple sauce for the kids!
It was Haven’s first time trying apple sauce and she said it was delicious!!
I am so glad that she enjoyed it! The kids seemed to have fun helping prepare it so I hope to do some more cooking as the year goes on.

Thank you for stopping by and for reading the updates. I think the blog is great for being able to provide a bit of a window into some of the things we do in class.
