Harold has come to visit!!

2011-02-18T15:56:00.001+13:00

Today we had our first of two sessions with Paula from the Life Education Trust. The Life Education Mobile Classroom is a health resource for pre-school, primary and intermediate schools that fits in closely with the Ministry of Education's Health and Physical Education Curriculum and Science Curriculum, and is delivered using multi-sensory teaching techniques to encourage all learning styles and help with retention of knowledge. All students will be visiting the classroom for lessons on social relationships. The modules focus on friendships, bullying and self-responsibility. Children look at concepts such as being friendly as opposed to being a friend, and they learn about managing conflict. Parents are welcome to visit the caravan to meet Paula and Harold on Wednesday, 23rd February at 2.00pm until 2.30pm.

Before we all got started on our projects Mrs Yousif showed us how it was done! We did a project together as a class.

We got to taste test lots of yummy popcorn in the process! We loved that! :)

"Rachel Rays Cooking show"

2009-09-07T14:21:00.004+12:00

Today i did my speech on my cooking talent. I pretended it was the Rachel Ray cooking show. I even had a microphone and a sign! I told the class how to cook Weetbix fudge. Everyone loved it!! They loved it soo much they wanted to know how to make it.
Here is the recipe:

6 Weetbix crushed up with your hands
1 cup of Sugar
3 cups of plain flour
1 cup of coconut
3 Tablespoons of cocoa
Half a pond of melted butter (250 grams)
1 teaspoon of Baking powder

Mix it all together in a bowl, then press the mixture into a greased tin.
Bake for half an hour on 180 degrees in the middle of your oven. Once it has cooled down, ice it with chocolate icing and sprinkle some coconut over the top.

Good Luck.

WELCOME BACK!!

I hope you all had a great holiday! We have an exciting term ahead of us!

Homework has come home today and you may have noticed that the format has changed. A sheet has also been handed out alongside to explain it. Spelling will be given out each Monday and tested on Fridays as usual, however the children are given 2 weeks to complete the rest of the sheet. It is important that parents/ caregivers sign once an aspect/task is completed. This is an exciting change; I look forward to hearing your thoughts.

As part of our topic 'Kia Kaha' we have been aiming to create a community where everyone feels safe, respected and valued, and where bullying is not tolerated.

Today the students performed plays about bullying. In groups they needed to identify what bullying looks like, where it may happen and have a practical strategy for dealing with the bully (or bullies).
