Learning about healthy soil

At Opunake kindy our enviro school focus this term is learning about Taepu Hauora (healthy soil). As kaitiaki of our whenua we are teaching and providing our tamariki with hands-on experiences that will support their learning and understanding of healthy soil.

 We are adding compost to our new vegetable garden to make our soil healthy by giving it the nutrients it needs to produce kai.

Then when our vegetables are planted we add worm juice to help our plants grow big and strong so we can eat them for afternoon tea or share with our whānau and community.
