House of Science - Sea & Me

Taeotu One was lucky enough to trial the new science kits put out by Ngati Whakaue in partnership with the House of Science. We really enjoyed the hands on Science experiments.

Identifying different sea creatures and their purpose...

Looking at filter feeding to learn how shellfish eat...

Water testing to see where is best for mussel farming and comparing and contrasting land farmers with sea farmers.

Watercress Planting

Matariki is the name for the star cluster known as Pleiades. It signals the Maori New Year and a good time for harvesting. To celebrate this we planted Watercress and once our individual watercress plants are grown we will replant them at our homes.

Taeotu 1 Hangi

As part of our Matariki celebration we had a Hangi lunch. In groups Taeotu 1 students planned and delegated roles to organise their Hangi. They prepared and packaged their own Hangi which were then cooked in the Ohinemutu steam boxes. Yum!!! 

Prepared and ready to package...

This group chose to add Corn & stuffing

All about the meat chicken & chops...

Yummy!!!
