Growing our own seedlings
After a big boil up on Matariki and creating their own café at the centre, children at BestStart Herne Bay are curious to know more about how we grow food. Supporting their interests, teachers are planning hands on experiences for them such as growing their own herbs in little pots. After they have planted the seeds, they are keeping a close eye on the growth of their little seedlings. It has become a daily ritual for our tamariki to monitor the growth and have a korero about it among themselves. Once the seedlings have grown a bit more, children have planned to replant them in our garden. What a lovely way to learn about nature and its bounties!
