They weren't sure what it was, so curiosity got the better of them and together they pulled out 3. But what were they?
They are a root vegetable, that has a big green bushy top.
So at kotahitanga (our group time) this morning Louise introduced what had been found in our garden and posed some questions...
George thought they were parsnips and he said to Louise "You need to cook them or else they'll taste yucky.... I've cooked them and they taste yum".
We continued to do some problem solving and decided that we needed to try them...
"Ow its a bit spicey" shared Grace as she chewed on a piece with her eyes scrunched up
Sienna, who we know grows a lot of vegetables at home with her family tried a piece and said...
"mum has radishes white, so they must be radishes.... ow they taste hot" she added.
So after some brave children who took a responsible risk along with teachers, we discovered that they were white radishes that were rather long, not round like the ones we have eaten from our garden earlier in the week! Ka nui ake to matauranga - Your knowledge increases. What great problem solving the children did as they shared their ideas about what they could be, before tasting to find out exactly what they were.
