A QUICK STROLL TO THE CAFE....
April 20th 2023
We planted our vegetables earlier this week, and have been a bit worried about the snails and slugs that may visit Uxbridge at night and slither and nibble on our leaves of our plants. We need our plants to survive so that we can harvest them. Teacher Maya did some googling and from previous experience she had a grand plan.....
On Thursday we quickly strolled up the Uxbridge Cafe, which is just through the art centre. What a great little community we have as the lady was very helpful in our search for used coffee bean granules. There was a a few people ordering their morning coffees so we had to wait and be patient. We had a sneaky peek at the art work and looked at all the cool designs and colours as well as looking at the cake cabinet.
Chloe really liked the look of the pink marshmallow slice - and told us that she has come to this cafe before with her whanau.
We saw a few familiar faces at the cafe/art centre as well.
Back to Kindy we went with a gigantic bag of coffee granules!. "Wow I cant smell them Maya, like strong coffee " said Austin.
When we got back to kindy a few friends wanted to see the what was in the big bag. A lot of the children knew from the smell before we opened it that it was coffee. We got to work carefully scooping and sprinkling the coffee granules on the garden around each plant so delicately.
"This coffee powder is going to scare the snails and slugs away from the plants" said Austin
"Yeah it is very smelly for the insects they wont like it" said Chloe.
"Look I am being careful to sprinkle it " said Jack
"I am digging the garden" said Ashton
