Feijoas- Group Work

Today we have been working in our works finding out what ingredients we need for our Feijoa recipes, what equipment we need and what jobs we are going to have in our groups.
Some of us found working in a group quite hard work so we decided that we would have group leaders. Our group leaders need to be responsible, to talk to people kindly, to tell people what they want to them do, to share jobs so everyone has something to do and lead people. So we are going to have a think about it over night, if we think we can be a good group leader.

Here we are hard at work today in our groups:

Feijoa's

Today Miss Billyard asked us to help solve her problem.

She has lots and lots of Feijoa's in her garden but doesn't like eating them as a piece of fruit. She wants us to come up with an idea of something else to make with the Feijoa's to make them more delicious.

So in our groups we did a brainstorm of different ideas of what we could make.
Here are some of our ideas:

Visit to the Marae

Today the Junior Jets and some of the Senior Stars went to the Marae.
We were welcomed into the Marae and listened to the Powhiri, which is the welcome.

We had to make sure we took our shoes off and used our best manners to listen. We also sang our Waiata. We then washed our hands and then our Kai was blessed before we ate it.

We are going back next week for different activities.

Here are some pictures we have drawn of the Marae.

Welcome to Room 3 Waithui

She used to be in Room 21 last year and has returned back to LSS for Term 2.

I wonder....

Here are some of the questions we want to ask this week.

Dylan Elise

Yesterday we had Dylan Elise the Drummer come to visit our school.
He did a wonderful performance teaching a little about the different names of the drums and showing us the sounds of some of them. His sister joined in the fun on her bass guitar as well. Luckily there was a camera to show us exactly what he was doing on the drums, it was a great show.

This term we going to visit the Marae in Week 4 and 5 - so we need to get practising our Waitia ready to sing. We will then be changing topics around Week 5 to a Science based topic looking at Taking Risks.
