Learning about Composting

Today for Nohonga tahitanga/Establishing a Sense of Community, some children visited Sienna's garden to learn more about sustainable living, in particular composting. 

Sienna's Mum, Rebecca talked to the children about the kinds of things we could put in our compost, what broke down quickly and things that took longer or not all. This is useful information for us as we have just started our own composting system at Kindergarten. We greatly value families sharing their knowledge  from home with us as this builds strong whanaungatanga/relationships and is very empowering for children.



There was also a chance to explore the rest of Sienna's garden, which was very much like exploring Out the Back at kindergarten!

We would reallyappreciate  some small containers of fresh food scraps to get our compost bin kick started. Talk to a teacher if you bring some in and we can show you where our compost bin is.
 Tino pai,  That would be great!
