It's Ngahuru (autumn) so just like Soha and Manushree suggested last time, we're harvesting and eating from the Mara Kai. K3 picked a fatty spaghetti squash and roasted it with olive oil and salt. K2 ate honey roasted squash. Unfortunately all the spaghetti squash were gone by the afternoon, so K1 ate a pumpkin baked with Sunny Honey. The pumpkin was less popular than squash.
While our kai cooked we celebrated Sea Week by reading a KCC magazine and exploring the Young Ocean Explorers Website.
After eating we tested our memory with a quiz based on the KCC articles.
