As part of our goal of working towards the Healthy Hearty award the preproom tamariki (children) have embarked on several projects to grow some of our own kai. 

This week they planted some sprouts in an inside container. They are learning to take care of them by watering them twice a day. Each time they take down the container they can see how much they have grown. The tamariki are also learning to be patient as plants take time to grow. 

The next step of course is to taste them when they are ready. 

There is also a long term project about to begin with digging up some dirt in our outdoor area to see if we can grow vegetables as well.
