GARDEN TO TABLE - Update in Term 3

       

   

Tamariki have been working hard in our ngahere with Pappy and Winston. They
have planted over 100 plants throughout our ngahere and with support have
made a native pathway and seating throughout our ngahere. This has become
such a peaceful and tranquil space for tamariki to work in.

   

Tamariki in the kitchen have been busy this term utilising vegetables, herbs and
flowers in our garden into our recipes. Some of the kai we have cooked this term has been,
herb scones, coleslaw, vege soup, stir-fry, fried rice etc

                   

Too wet to collect harakeke.  Paper strips worked just fine.  However, because
of the flexibility they kept bending. We are investigating making harakeke baskets to
use for our plants when the tupu are visible - a sustainable option instead of using plastic
containers.

Upcoming Events Coming Weeks

Cultural Concert in Week 9 at the Memorial Hall Kaikohe

We have learning about Maramataka

       In-room 15  we have been learning about Maramataka
  

Maramataka is like a circle with days that are good and bad. They also show what days are good for fishing if it is going to be a good day or a bad day when is it good for eeling getting seafood and even more. Maramataka is like a calendar that people use for the next years that are coming so they know what is going to be happening and what they can do. Maramataka is a really good thing to have all the time because if don't watch the news you can just read your Maramartara calendar or whatever you have been writing your Maramartaka.
