Tuesday Cooking

Personalize a free slideshow design

Each Tuesday this term we are cooking after playtime. A group of five people from our class go to the hall kitchen and make something yummy for us to eat with our lunch. Grace's mum helps us and there is usually another parent help as well. This week it was Sophie's mum. Everyone will get a chance to cook and the first thing we are trying out is flapjack. It's a bit like a muesli bar with oats, pumpkin seeds and this week we added banana.
We are lucky to have parents who help with these activities.

Back from Germany

Mika and Grace went to Germany two weeks before the holidays and we had to stay at school. After the holidays Grace came back with some delicious gummy bears for us. She gave us each a packet. Grace gave Wills a special toy because he can't eat too many sweet things. Grace ate snails when she was in Germany and she said they tasted great!
Two days later Mika came back with kinder chocolate for us. We ate it in class while we were working. YUM!!!
It's good to have Grace and Mika back in New Zealand.

Mille Fleurs

Cross Country

Last week we had our school Cross Counrty Event. Gyung, who is a student from Korea wrote an amazing recount in English telling about his race. Gyung has only lived in New Zealand for six months. We are very proud of Gyung's progress and you will be too when you read his recount.

Cross Country

It was the day of the cross country. Finally I ran and ran. Everyone ran fast. I ran as fast as I could. At the back field it was slippery and muddy. I was careful at the muddy field. At the back field I was coming last and one person was behind me. When I was climbing the stairs I was puffing. I thought this was easy but it was very hard. I passed the playground and I passed one person. My leg was shaking. At the end I passed the line. I came 23^rd.

I don’t like cross country but it is good for my health.
