Can you dig it?

John Waller —

In the last week of term 1 two truck loads of soil were delivered to school in preparation for the Porohita Garden to Table programme. The year 3 and 4 students got stuck in with spades, shovels and buckets to fill the new garden beds.

The previous school vegetable patch was taken down last term and was replaced by some amazing new planters. These are the first steps in a programme where the Porohita students will grow, harvest, prepare and share their food over the course of the year.

On Monday 11th of April we had two truckloads of soil delivered and all the children in both year 3 and 4 came together to shovel the massive pile of earth into the new spaces.

The classes have been out this week planting carrots and peas. The whole team are really excited about the rest of the year.

A special thank you to Tanksalot for their support getting this going.
