On Monday 20th November the Foundation Stage One & Two classes donned their wellington boots and visited the Cultural Park in Keratea to participate in an educational programme called 'At the Olive Press'.
The children travelled around the muddy olive groves on the wooden train which excited them greatly. 'This is the best place, EVER!' three-year-old Rasha exclaimed as they trundled around the farm.
The children worked as a team to collect olives and take them to the olive press where they witnessed the process of pressing the olives and observed the olive oil running into traditional ceramic pots.They learned how olive oil could be used to make soap and watched how olives are produced for eating at the table.
The children made olive bread which was baked in a wood-fired oven. What a lovely trip to the countryside!
