Icy treats from the garden

Jungles creatures of all types have descended on Tooradin Primary School!

The School’s Environment Club have been creating tasty fruit icy poles in the shape of animals from the African jungle to raise funds for their much valued Stephanie Alexander Kitchen Garden Program.

Teacher Rachel Davis said with the help of school’s kitchen specialist, Sam, students had used seasonal produce and excess fruit from their cooking program to make the Jungle Pop icy poles.

“Students are also involved in the selling and tallying of the money raised in order to develop their understanding of managing money,” she said.

“Each week they are tallying their profit and loss and planning the week ahead, developing real life schools while enjoying working together.”

The Jungle Pops name was chosen from a list drafted by the Environment Club students.
