Year One's Broad bean harvest

We are learning about growing kai with 5+Aday.  Today we harvested the broad beans we had planted in the Mara Kai.  We had great fun pulling the fat pods off the tall bean plants.  Then we put the plants into the compost, so they can make new soil for growing new food.

Back in the classroom we each opened a pod and tried the beans.

Sapphire "The "beans were big when I opened it".

Liam "It smells good, it tastes good and the beans were big"

Ethan "There were some tiny ones like babies and some big ones like grandpas"

William "I liked them"

Jackson "They are light green in colour"

William D " They were sour an yucky"

Alice "They tasted a bit like  a chemical"
