Harvesting

This week we spent time in the garden. First we had to pull out the weeds around our growing vegetables. We then planted some companion plants such as spring onion to keep the insects away. We then harvested our Kumara and also our Parisian Market Carrots. Our carrots are a little bit different than what we usually see at the supermarket. They are small and round and have only been in the ground for 4 weeks! We have left some of them in to keep growing so we can see how big they can get. We then took our produce inside to peel and cut. We added salt, pepper and oil and cooked them in an air fryer. This made yummy roasted vegetables that we were able to eat!

 

Conservation Week 2021!

Kia ora!

This week is conservation week! Can you tell me what conservation means?

The Department of Conservation have prepared a special pack of resources which can help you at home to connect with nature and have fun outdoors this conservation week. The theme is "Take a moment to notice nature".

DOC Waikato are also running a photo competition to celebrate our community 'Taking a Moment for Nature'! It's open to all young people under 18. Entries open Saturday 4th September and close, Sunday the 19th. Check out the information in the resource pack for more information.

To access the resource pack for conservation week. Head over to our Kauri Team Site by following this link or the link to the right of our blog. It is under Room 12, Lockdown Learning, Conservation week 2021.

Have a go with a daily conservation week task! Another thing you can do this week is look at our home learning from the past few weeks and see if there is anything you didn't get a chance to start or finish.

Remember to share any home learning you are doing at home with me!
