Canterbury Earthquake

yesterday Kowhai syndicate did some baking for Burnham school in Christchurch.Room 6 made date scones and pictures and letters.These were collected by a courier and flown to south free of charge.Other syndicates did some things and we ended up sending 3 care packages away.It was a nice feeling giving to those who need.

Our cooking unit

is going well and we have made hot chocolate and pizza in the last few weeks.We have also made placemats and a sign for our cafe.We had a vote and Annabell's cafe name got the most votes.Therefore we named our cafe "The crunchy muchy cafe".
We have been doing lots of procedural writing and hopefully the children are sharing some procedures with you at home.

Kath Bee

we have been really busy in room 6 - last week a visiting performer came to se us.Her name is Kath Bee and she played us lots of songs and chose people from the audience to help her.We already know some of her songs - Dad I want to be a camel and Individuality

We cooked today

why you say??????Look at all the learning - we had to triple the recipe - we used our 3 times tables for that!!!
Then we wrote our instructions on how to make it.....
Eating it produced a lot of oral language discussing it .....
Then Adi made us run it of by going for a run 3 x around the school.............
