Jamin & Zi Xuan's Recount:
Digging up Kumara
On Monday 19 June, the Ecowarriors were supposed to go to Waka Creek with a man named Levi, but his car broke, so we went to the Senses Garden to harvest kumara instead for Matariki.First, we searched for how to plant kumara and build the perfect area to grow them. We thanked Rongo ma Tane the god of the Kumara by saying "ako a kaka".
Next, the Eco Warriors grabbed the purple vines and pulled them out. We knew the kumara were ready because the leaves were turning yellow. Tate found a kumara stuck to a vine. After all the vines were put in the new garden bed for composting, the Ecowarriors started digging the dirt looking for Kumara. The Ecowarriors searched and found a lot of kumara. It felt like getting ice cream!
After what felt like an hour some of the Ecowarriors started washing the kumara. Some people went to the kitchen and cut the kumara. Mrs Daniel and Ms Everitt put the kumara in the oven.
In the afternoon the Ecowarriors gotta eat them. The kumara was so tasty!!! I liked it a lot. Some of the Ecowarriors are going to bring kumara home to plant in their gardens! By Jamin Huang and Zixuan Peh.
After the harvest, we roasted the kumara and researched in groups. Follow the links to see our mahi:
