Weaving (From the end of term one!)

 Mō taku hē e te whānau! I neglected to click the 'publish' button for this post. Please enjoy your tamaiti's mahi - even if a little late!

As we near the end of the term we have been working on different weaving skills - as they relate to Matariki. Ngā tamariki created a sea side themed piece of the constellation. Showing the graduation from the sea to the night sky. 





Seed sowing...

 We started preparing for our maara kai this week. Sowing seeds for tomatoes, capsicum, pumpkin, and cucumber. First tamariki rehydrated the little soil tablets. It was a greta opportunity to kōrero about what we noticed was happening as the tablet absorbed the water. Then they scooped the soil into the little seed cups and placed a seed of their choice into the cup. These will stay inside to germinate. We will plant them out once we have a sturdy seedling and the days are warmer.
