Tuhi Mai - Gardening

Today For reading Tuhi Mai did some gardening at the Glenbrae school garden. We started growing the cabbage in a tray, first we poke some holes in the tray so that when we put the water, Vegetable soil and the cabbage, the root will not get rotten.

Next we add the Vegetable soil and water inside of the tray, then we made 6 holes in the vegetable soil to plant the cabbage, when we had holes to put the cabbage inside we put the cabbage inside of the hole then put the the vegetable soil over it, then we moved on to growing the Carrots and Broccoli at the garden.

8 of us went into 2 groups, we split into 4's. So my group was growing the Broccoli and the other group was growing Carrots, that was my first time growing a vegetable, first we used our finger to make a deep line then we tipped water and then we sprinkle the broccoli seed in side of the line and then put the vegetable soil over it.

While we were gardening we took some photos of us growing the vegetable, when we were done with the vegetable we packed up everything that we use to grow the vegetable and went back to class happy.

Trip to Te Oro - Matariki

Glenbrae School had trip to Te Oro at Glen Innes. First we began with a Powhiri, as soon as that was finished we got split into groups to go work with the people over there. My group was the Clay group, we were with Whaea Whetu and Chop Boy, they we the people were gonna tech us how to make Patterns with Clay. The first thing that we learn from them was a Piko, a Piko is a patterns that Maori people use to create carvings in those day but they still use it at this time, They were teaching us how to draw it on paper and Clay, when we were finished with that we move on to Taniwha, we were so exited to draw Taniwha, when Whaea Whetu and Chop Boy teach us how to draw Taniwha on our paper we were ready to draw Taniwha on Clay. When they gave us clay and water we started to draw, it was so fun drawing Taniwha on clay because it is cool to do what Maori people use to do in the olden days, when we were finished with our Taniwha drawing Whaea Whetu and Chop Boy put our drawing on to the paper that we drawled before, when we were finished with that we sat on ground to learn a Maori song, after learning that song we said thank you for having us, then they said your welcome in Maori, then they sing a song to farewell us back to school. When we were finished we ate our lunch, then hopped on the bus back to school.

Writing Group Reflection

Today my group and I talked about how to make a winter garden, we talked with our teacher to learn how to make one so we plan out to make a winter garden at our school. What we needed to make a winter garden was Vegetable soil, trowels, gloves and pots, when we were planning what to do we talked about what we were gonna do. So our teacher made a planning sheet for us to put all our ideas, when we were finished with our planning sheet we then moved on to writing.
