Have you been wondering why your children are asking to bring whole apples in as part of their lunchbox repertoire? At Northland Kindergarten we have a designated kai space where we all eat our morning tea or lunch kai. We have available an apple peeler and corer machine that the children get a kick out of using to prepare their apples. It's so much fun! A while back ours broke so we were without it for a few months... and this term we are 'machine capable' once more! So many apples to peel and slice into rings or springs! As we enjoy the transformation of the apple, it gives us a great context to talk about healthy food and the physics of a simple machine in action.... so keep on going keen investigators!
