This Catalan proverb reminds us that Autumn is one of the most exciting seasons for traditional food. Many fruits (pomegranate, quince, grapes, chestnuts..) are ready to be eaten, others (olives) to be picked and with the Fall rainings arrive also the desired mushrooms and snails. To complete the menu arrive also some traditional pastries (panellets) and confitures (codonyat made with quince).

Our younger students prepared an exposition on Aurtumn fruits, and the elder ones learned how valuable are on the nutritional side.

Aquests dies els nens i nens de l’aula d’acollida hem estat treballant la tardor. Per aquest motiu, avui dia 30 d’octubre, hem anat a comprar fruites de la tardor: xirimoies, codonys, figues, raïm, taronges, magranes, caquis…

Un cop hem tingut la compra feta hem anat a menjar castanyes torrades… mmmmm… que bones! Després hem aprofitat per jugar una mica al parc.

Quan hem arribat a l’escola hem estat repassant tot el que hem comprat i hem calculat quant ens hem gastat. Per acabar ens hem menjat tota la fruita… que per cert era boníssima!!!

Ens ho hem passat molt bé i sobretot hem après moltes coses!!!
