Year Three Plant Kumara, Munch Cucumbers and Promote Worms

 


Today Room 8 managed to get out in the Mara before the electrical storms to plant some kumara seedlings.  We picked to big cucumbers and two enormous marrows.  







Rooms 18 & 7 completed their worm posters and ate the cucumbers.  Don't the posters look awesome!



Next time we're hoping to make veggie pancakes for our last session.

Year Three Advertising Agency

 









Year Three want everyone to know how important worms are for returning nutrients to the soil so we can grow kai. On a, rainy day we got arty farty and created 3d effect posters to promote worms and Composting food scraps.

Room 18 & 8 noticed cucumbers growing in our Mara Kai so cut them up and ate them for a fresh snack. With no more cucumbers, Room 7 ate perpetual spinach and sorrell leaves.  Thanks worms for making the compost to grow yummy veggies!

We'll finish our advertising campaign next time and hopefully it will be a sunny day so we can plant our kumara seedlings.
