Satine's truck comes to school

As part of my homework my dad brought his truck to school.  We looked at all the things that he had done to his truck.  I shared all the things I knnew about the truck and dad helped me.  It was fun explaining the different parts and then being able to see how many children we could get on the back.  I enjoyed this topic challenge.

Tayla and her friends PAVLOVA

For Tayla's homework she got her own choice, She thought for a while and an idea popped into her head. "Lets do a pavlova",she thought. She got her grandad to help her make a pavlova. He loves to make pavlova. So on Wednesday she got all of her ingredients and she started to make the pavlova. She made the pavlova mix and spreed it on a baking tray and cooked it for one hour. On Thursday she brought it to school and her reading group (the purple group) whipped the cream,cut up some fruit, place the fruit onto the Pavlova and finally add lots of sprinkles. Before they finished they took more photos.

Plastic plates and spoons were ready and Tayla cut her magnificent Pavlova. Time for sharing.  Lots of smiles and thank you were heard as Tayla shared out her Pavlova. Everyone loved the pavlova!

A Musican at school.

On Monday 19th  of May, the whole school went to see and listen to the musician, Bob Bikerton.  He showed us his many musical instruments and he played them for us.
We listened to the different types of music being played by each of the instruments.  He was very clever and shared what he liked about music and his instruments.

Kids can cook

  

What a great visit we had from Chef Chris from Kids Can Cook.
On May 13th  the whole school went to take part in Kids Can Cook in the hall.  Byron was chosen to be the Sues Chef (The assistant chef) and had to call Chris MASTER.
Byron helped Chris make french crapes with apple and silver beet .   Chris named it green snotty vegetable.    Everyone got to have a crepe and some people got more.  Some people really liked them but some people didn't. We talked about all the special new Zealand food especially  marmite and kiwi fruit.  It was fun finding out and cooking the food that we can find in our garden.

Soccer for term 2

We had a great game of soccer against George St.  Sam was a great goal keeper in the first half.  Emma scored a great goal making the team take the lead.   Andre,Tim and Charlotte were great at defence in the second half.
Ben D and Annashae were great at controlling the ball.  Brodie was awesome at goalie.  Ben M and Jessica were fantastic at mid field.  Finally Sam scored two amazing goals which made the final score 3 to nil.  Everyone played amazing but there could only be one player of the day and that was Sam.
