We believe in sustainable approach and like to engage our children in various activities which can connect them to the nature. Here are our tamariki growing their seeds which we collected from new world. They poured water on the soil tablet and watch it absorb the water and grow big. Then they put soil in the pot and placed the seeds in it. The last task to add labels and sticker of that vegetable. Our tamariki had lots of fun doing this task. 

Te Whariki: 

Over time and with guidance and encouragement, children become increasingly capable of making sense of their worlds by generating and refining working theories (te rangahau me te matauranga)

Through these experiences children demonstrate their respect and love for nature and papatuanuku (the mother earth) and caring for it. They also showed their cognitive ability as they followed the process and sequence of planting process. Turn taking and waiting for their turn was evident during this experience. Their language and communication skills were also enhanced as they learnt new words and communicated with their friends and teachers. What a great learning for our tamariki!
