Year 3 - Mara Kai Ngahuru





Aavin told us we can eat feijoas skins. Who knew?! 






Year 3 today consulted the maramataka (calendar) for Matauranga Maori (traditional knowledge) around what to do in our Mara Kai Ngahuru ( autumn food garden).  Autumn is a time to harvest, tend and plant our Tukurua (winter) crops.  

We noticed our kumara leaves just starting to yellow, which is great news for a harvest in time for our Matariki hangi.

The tamariki all worked hard weeded, digging and harvesting fruit and veggies.  Check out our giant hue gourds!

After all our mahi it was time for a feijoa feast! Next time we're looking forward to planting traditional Chinese plants in our tea garden and finding out more about the gourds.
