Matariki soup

Matariki time is here, time for us to celebrate with food, family and friends.  Today was a very cold frosty morning the perfect day to began preparing some delishous winter soup for us to share with our Kindergarten whanau.  The tamariki were busy chopping, grating and slicing up all the lovely winter veges.  There was much sharing of ideas on how to use the grater as the children supported each other and shared their past knowledge to successfully grate the veges.  The preparation and sharing of Kai brings people together and this was clearly evident today as the tamariki chatted as they chopped up the veges.  Communicating with clarity and precision about how they help with food at home and which are their favourite veges.  


The peelers were a bit of a challenge but again by working together and sharing ideas the tamariki successfully peeled the potatoes and added them to the pot.  After some great perseverance and persistence the soup was ready to be cooked.  It bubbled away for the rest of the day and tomorrow it will be ready for sharing and eating yum yum!
