Term 4- Week 5 Banana bread

We kept all left over bananas in freezer after the smoothie session to make a big batch of banana bread. We also added leftover poppy seed and sesame seed to the bread.
It turned out well and student enjoyed it with colourful fruit and edible flour salad for a change from our usual savory menu. Although the beef and veggie stir fry was still popular for meaty-savory lovers.

5 A Day Challenge- Carrot Pita and Pumpkin soup making
