Cooking at school and at home





We have been very lucky to receive a donation of some ‘Little kitchen’ equipment for our kiwi hub children to take home. We also have a mixing set for each classroom. These items have been donated by the NZ Chefs Association, in the hope that it encourages children to join in with cooking and baking at home. Today we have tried out the mixing sets to make chocolate crackles as an end of term treat. We would love to see some photographs of your child using the set they received. Please let us know if you are willing to share your photos with the Chefs Association. We will be writing thank you letters in week 1 next term.


Junior Neighbourhood Support winners


Well done to the four winners from Room 12.



Each of these children were nominated for the Junior Neighbourhood Support awards. Each child had spent time during the term picking up rubbish from around the school, in their own time, without any prompting from staff.  Ka Pai!

Counting fun


In maths most children have mastered counting to 20 and many are working on counting to 50. Today, after a late and busy night at the concert, we had some fun practising our counting to 20 or 50 with dot-to dot activities. Joining the dots with a straight line proved to be tricky until we started using rulers to help.
