The Papatoetoe Community Gardens
Did you know that tucked in next to New World in Papatoetoe is a wonderful greenspace called the Papatoetoe Community Gardens where you can rent a plot of land and grow things to your heart’s content.
There are experts there who can help you learn. We went and learned how to get the soil ready for plants to grow, we learnt about sewing seeds, we learnt about how to keep pests away.
We saw gardeners with tools, vegetables, inventions, seeds and so much more just a walk away from Holy Cross School.
Repeat Repeat Repeat
Maori, Samoan, Tongan, Cook Island, Fijian, European and Filipino – patterns – patterns -patterns – that’s what Room 2 has been looking at. What we’ve learnt is that lots of cultural patterns are based on nature and that they all repeat, repeat, repeat.
We looked at patterns, we practiced making our patterns, we used thick, black vivid to put our designs together and then we carefully dyed them.
Here are the learners of Room 2 hard at work.
