The tamariki have been excited to return and see just how much their seedlings have grown which they planted at the end of the last year.

They have taken the responsibility to ensure the plants have been getting plenty of water on the hot sunny days. Not only have the vegetables grown a lot, but so have the lovely plants in our large outdoor environments. It has been awesome to see the tamariki taking responsibility to care for their environment and helping with the pruning process of some of our overgrown shrubs. This term we want to have a go at making some paper bricks! Which we plan to place on our swap stand for you to take home for fire lighting this winter. Speaking of the swap stand, we also plan to move this to a more convenient location – so keep an eye on this. We may need some muscles to help move it, so we welcome any volunteers for this task.
