Last term On Matariki we planted seedlings, last week the class checked the plants they were fully grown. On Friday we did Makerspace, for our makerspace had to make a healthy meal. We had to be in groups of five, in my group there was Alex, Ondreous, Archie, Pharell and me. We had to use at least 1 vegetable from the garden, there were four vegetables they were carrots, parsley, silverbeet and celery, we used 3 of them, carrots, parsley and celery because we made a burrito, stuffed capsicum, carrot and celery. Then we did T-shape literacy. We had to explain how a plant grows, I did how popcorn grows. For example popcorn
Lay the popping corn on a wet paper towel in a plastic bag with end open and leave it for the week
Then put it in a pot of soil (everyday you need to sprinkle a little bit of water on the pots)
After ten days, you should see a little plant in the pot. Then plant it in a sunny spot. (constantly water them)
Soon you should see feathery tassels emerge from each plant and long pink threads (silks) sprouting from each stalk.
When the silks turn brown, the leaves and the stalks dry up and the husks turned pale and papery you can start picking the corn.
When you have finished let them dry for 4 weeks then shell them and twist the cobs to take off the corn then let then popcorn seeds dry for 10 days
Then put the popcorn seeds in a paper bag and put it in the microwave for 1 or 2 minute and it should start popping, there you have it a healthy snack.
