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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
