Kea's Fantastic 2011

Happy Harvesting

A couple of weeks ago Kea class harvested our garden. We dug up Bright Lights and cabbages. We dug them up with a fork or a trowel.

Jacob and I were buddies for digging out our cabbages. We thought that our cabbage was a big mama. It was as big as a cow’s belly. Sapphire’s Bright Lights was the biggest in the garden. Jono’s cabbage was the biggest in the garden. Ours was second biggest. Tim’s was the smallest Bright Light.

Afterwards we washed them, dried them, cut them and ate them. When we made them there were lots of ingredients that we could use. There was luncheon, apple, tomato sauce, carrots and lots more.

A couple of weeks ago guess what our class did? We harvested our garden! Sam was my buddy for harvesting. When we got to our garden I couldn’t believe how humungous all our cabbages and Bright Lights were.

Next Mrs Bryant handed out some forks (not table forks, gardening forks) and some trowels. Luckily, Sam and I got the fork first, so we started digging underneath the roots so we could cut it afterwards. When we finished digging it up Sam complained “This is one big momma, I can’t lift it!” So I decided to help Sam lift the cabbage. I thought it was as heavy as a boulder. Soon we went back to class to eat the cabbages and Bright Lights/ Swiss Chard/ silver beet.

Sam and I and everyone else cut off the stalk. After that we made our cabbage into a wrap We had a selection of: alfalfa, grated apple, grated cheese and tomato.

Finally I ate it and it was delicious. I thought it was a good idea to harvest our garden.

Amazing Wednesdays

Every Wednesday Kea class has Variation Thinker’s Key. It is when we think of many different ideas about something. Variation stands for different or changed. We try to get a new high score each time. This week we thought of things that always go round. Most of them were about planets, but also second clock hands and the asteroid belt.

Last week we did how many different ways we can say a greeting. 

Our highest score is 44. We all thought it great fun and an exciting learning experience.
