GARDEN TO TABLE (written by Room 6)
In Room 6, we have been learning about kūmara in our Garden to Table work with Maddy. We learned that they need warm weather to grow and we had to do lots of experiments to get them sprouting.
We learned that smaller jars keep the kūmara warmer and we made a mini greenhouse with the plastic bag. They took a long time to sprout but now they are nearly ready to put in the ground. We’re wondering why two of them have still not sprouted…
We have also been harvesting from around the school. We have picked lavender and rosemary cuttings and we are drying bay leaves. We have also used salt to make preserved limes. We are going to sell our items at Paddy’s Mart and raise money for our garden projects in the school.
Thank you to Maddy for helping us. We love Garden to Table!
KAPITI CAREERS EXPO
The Year 8s attended the Kapiti Careers Expo at the Southwards Car Museum in Week 2. There were so many stalls to visit with a wide range of different career options. The Year 8s really made the most of their time at the Expo and we were impressed with how they engaged with the stall holders and asked lots of relevant questions. It is never too early to start thinking about your options. Thanks to the parents that transported and supervised the children. We know you learnt lots too.
Te Reo Tuatahi
