Kumara digging

Welcome back to term two!

It was so wonderful to see so many happy faces on Tuesday. The learners were full of excitement and stories about their holidays and it was so lovely to see them filled with such enthusiasm for the new term.

While it has been a bit chilly this week, the weather on Friday was beautiful and offered a great chance to get outside and enjoy the fantastic environment of our school. It was also perfect weather for harvesting the kumara that room 18 planted last year. As part of our harvest festival this term we will be using these kumara (and perhaps a few others to plump up our supply) to make kumara crisps. Although the date has not yet been finalised, I'd like to warmly extend a welcome to any whānau that would like to join us doing this. Or, if you have a great recipe you'd like to share that would be awesome too.

The learners that dug the kumara up were keen to share the experience with their classmates, telling them about the soil, and how they were tricked by rocks disguising themselves as kumara.
