Today Room 26 compared and contrasted growing food in our school Mara Kai and the kai we buy at the supermarket. We read 'Kumara Behind the Scenes' to see the journey of kumara from market garden to supermarket. There were lots of workers, machinery, trucks and packaging. Then went to the Mara Kai and planted tipu so we will have delicious kumara to dig up next Matariki.
We noticed the lush rainbow silver beet growing in the Mara Kai, so Ms Daniel picked the biggest leaves for us to try. We ripped up the giant leaves and steamed briefly in an electric fry pan with salt. So easy!
Oisin "I've never eaten it before. It was so good"
Lela "It was salty and soft"
Andrew "The stalk was like celery"
Rael "I learnt silver beet is easy to grow"
Charlotte "Food is fresher from the garden"
