Nā mātou te waimārie! We are so lucky at Ōtaki School to have a maara kai! There are a number of fruit trees and garden beds in the maara. At this time of year tamariki can be found foraging for fruit. It is important to know when to harvest the fruit and how to do so carefully so as to not damage the tree.
Last week Rourou went down to the maara to pick some apples - noting which ones were ripe for picking and carefully pulling them from the branches without breaking the branch.
We picked an abundance of apples - with the plan the next day to juice them.
It was a lovely way to finish off our week creating some wai āporo - apple juice together.
Reka rawa! Delicious!
