Words:

Haere mai, haere mai
E ngā iwi e haere mai
Ki runga o te marae

Whare tapu teitei

Tenei au e te tū hawerewere
Te ao wahine
Rū rū tāwhai tāwhai

Sand Pit

We have been watching the sand pit being made over the last month. It is nearly ready. We went to check out the progress today and used our new ipod touch to take the photos.

Taking Risks

This afternoon we thought about all the different things we do that involves taking a sensible risk.
These are some of the ideas that we came up with.

Handwriting

We have been working really hard with our handwriting.
We spend time concentrating on how to form our letters properly and making it as neat as possible.

Take Risks

This topic we are learning to take risks.
We are learning to take responsible and safe risks in our everyday life.

So think about what you can do to take responsible risks.

Jump Rope for Heart

Yesterday morning we all completed Jump Rope for Heart. We tried to do as many skips as possible to raise money for the Heart Foundation.

Here we all are having a go:

Jump Rope for Heart

Unfortunately due to the rain we had to cancel Jump Rope for Heart today.
Though this does give us some more time to practice our skipping.
We will hopefully be able to do it next Friday instead.

Feijoa Baking

Today was our Feijoa baking day.
We worked well in our groups to make our different recipes.
We really liked some of the recipes and we didn't really like other ones, but we all had fun making and tasting them.
The favourite one at the end of the day was Feijoa and Chocolate Cake and 2nd was the Feijoa Ice Cream. Everyone tried a little bit of everything.

Here we are making some of our dishes.
