Our first cabbage
















The Tui's were so excited to find their first cabbage that had grown in our vegetable garden, after all our hard work we were finally being rewarded. The children helped to pick it out of the garden then they all sat down to watch the teachers cut it open. The outer leaves were so big and green, but as we peeled the layers away it became a rich purple colour. It was a great experience to be able to talk about it's colour and how it changed, how it felt and the best part, what it tasted like. The Tui's enjoyed having a wee feast of raw cabbage, once we had all had a taste we took it next door to share with the Pukeko children and teachers. It is great to see the children explore with new unfamiliar foods; and of course we were all rather proud as we grew it right from seed. Well done Tui's; because of your care and attention to our vegetable garden we have produced some awesome fresh vegetables.
