As part of our learning around kaitiakitanga we have been working in our maara outside the classroom. Growing our seeds, nuturing our seedlings. Our kakano have germinated and the tipu are growing. We want to ensure they continue to grow strong and so look for ways to nuture them. Seaweed tea gives nutrients to grow strong and is very easy to make. We made a trip to the beach to gather seaweed for this purpose.
On the way we stopped to have a close look at a banana tree. We were excited to see to see the large bunch of bananas and the type of tree they grew on. Turns out you can grow anything in 'Sunny Ōtaki'!
In no time at all the bucket was filled up with seaweed...

Then we could PLAY! Off down the beach to the 'stick hut'!
Then it was time to return to kura for lunch.
We will fill the bucket up with water then leave it for a couple of weeks to 'brew'. Then we can use it on our maara.
