Learning about harakeke

Today we learned about being a kaitiaki (carer of the land). We learned about how the simple technology behind composting can reduce greenhouses gases but increase plant food for our garden!


We took a walk down to the harakeke (flax) at the bottom of the field. There we learned the special process of cutting harakeke. In pairs, we practised plaiting the grandfather leaves. Next week we will be creating woven art.
