Kei te whakarite mātou i ngā māra kai mo te whānau. Me keri mātou i ngā wahi tika .
We have to prepare the gardens marking out the frames and making sure the two gardens can fit in the area. All of our classes went to collect the community bark to line our gardens.
We watched a video on how to grow a raised garden and then made sure we knew what the process would be to complete the gardens. As you can see the area is clear.
We worked hard by ourselves during play time and lunch time it was awesome.
We planted silver beet, lettuce, carrots, beetroot, broccoli and a range of herbs.
In term 4, the vegetables should be ready to harvest. Yum!
These were the herbs we planted in our wall gardens which included thyme, oregano, basil and a range of spring onions. Have a look at the wall gardens we made out of recycled butynol. We painted them and made pockets to grow the herbs. We had three groups working on the wall gardens.
Our inquiry was about growing kai in the whenua so we decided to plan a Matariki hāngi. The whenua is used as a way of cooking kai in traditional and modern times. Our whole whānau participated in the preparation of our hāngi.
Whaea Les was in charge of the steam pudding.
Our hāngi consisted of two types of kumara, riwai, kapeti, mīti poaka, mīti heihei, whakakīkī paraoa.
Our Matariki hākari was to start at 6pm that night. We decorated the hall and our whānau came to celebrate with us, what an awesome time.
