Today Year Five set to work saving the spaghetti squash seeds we had harvested at the beginning of term.
Do you remember the spaghetti squash we grew over raumati/summer and roasted? https://www.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/5234492709449203093/605536775667702119 We had collected the seeds from inside and dried them out. Now it's time to store them for planting in our own mara next koanga/spring. Free kai!
We looked at various seed packets to see what a successful container would look like:
- a paper envelope with no gaps
- a title and picture
- instructions for growing that included when, where and how.
We had to think carefully to create our own seeds packets using A4 paper, glue, scissors. When we were sure it had no gaps we decorated it with pictures and instructions. Lastly we filled them with six seeds each.
Now we can grow our own spaghetti squash or gift the seeds to some gardeners we know as an Easter surprise.
We're looking forward to continuing our Ready Steady Go Sustainable Travel topic next term.
