Literacy: Matariki Harvesting

LI: To make a google draw on how the crops were harvested in the past.

The above google draw is created by Sakina, Florence and me and showcases our learning on how the crops were harvested in the past. We included the tools used by the cultivators or farmers at that time and also included the information about their mechanism. If we have a look the way harvesting is done today then we will see a huge difference. Now days farmers use the technology and use high tech machines which sow the seed, provide them water, add pesticides, harvest them and also thresh them. This reduces the labor and a lot of hard work. I enjoyed learning the different name of tools in Maori which are used to harvest crops.
