Today we got stuck into the orchard doing some cleaning up and some gardening. We also cleaned out the chook run and gave the chickens new bedding, the children all jumped in and helped, they all seemed to have enjoyed this very much! 

Replanting, harvesting and working in the orchard is a great way to celebrate Matariki.  

It is also a great way to begin a New Year with new plants and cleaning up our orchard. This activity clearly shows how we use Manaakitanga a Te Ao Maori concept as part of routine at the centre.
