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.

Kea Scientists

On Monday in the afternoon Kea class did a scientific experiment to see if eggs can float in water. First we wrote our question then our prediction. Immediately after that we wrote the materials. We had salt, glasses, eggs and water. We tested the eggs with normal water. 15 people said it would float and 11 said it would sink including me. For our conclusion we wrote eggs don’t float in water. The next part was with dissolved salt. The egg floated. It was still floating on Tuesday. Even two days later it was still floating. We had a great time.

Our class did fair testing. We were scientists for that bit of the day. Our class experimented to find out if an egg would float in water and in salty water. We predicted what we thought might happen. Logan R and James got to put the eggs in. My prediction was that the egg would sink in water and float in hot salty water and in just salty water. I got all my predictions right.

On Monday we did fair testing. In the cold water it sunk. Some people thought it was going to float but it actually sunk. In the cup that had hot water and salt the egg floated.

We thought about if the egg will float in the water or if it will sink in the water. I thought the egg would sink. It sunk in the water. It floated with salt in the water.

Kea Ball Skills

We are practising our ball skills and games. The skills we are concentrating on are: looking at the ball, catching the ball with our hands, not our arms and pulling the ball into our body.
