'Sugaring Off'

We had a busy week collecting sap.  All in all, we collected nearly 100 litres of sap... much more than we expected... take a look...



On Wednesday, it was time for 'sugaring off'.   We spent a whole day boiling the sap.  Thanks Darwin.  The water slowly evaporated leaving a sweet surprise.  

Many classes came out to learn about maple syrup collection.  The whole school was engaged.   




An here's what we were waiting for....  a sweet reward...


Wait.  There's more.   More sap to boil.   More syrup to be made.   And of course a pancake waiting to be devoured.
