Oops - someone got caught licking their fingers :)



The girls' cake


We have been writing instructions. Yesterday we invented our own yummy chocolate cake! Today we looked at a recipe for Caramel cake and then we followed it and made it mmmmm.

After lunch we came back to class and we are writing instructions. Then we are going to check our instructions against the original recipe to see how well we did.

Can you guess what we are going to do next?












YES you guessed right! WE WILL EAT THEM!

Tricky maths question

I am sitting here marking tests and I was super impressed that 1 person in the class got a tricky question right!

Room 13 and their families, can you figure out the answer at home? Leave the answer as a comment.

I can't believe we forgot to take photos!

Room 13 has had a fun day! To start with we had quite a few people complaining about aches and pains so we asked everyone "How are you today?" If the said good or okay we clapped and cheered. Then we finished writing our popcorn making instructions. Some people had difficulty explaining how to cook popcorn so we went to the kitchen upstairs in the staffroom. We did fake cooking and Miss Rae tried to stirfry her popcorn! After morning tea we had bad news - we couldn't do PE because the field and hall were being used for setting up the gala. SO we got the popcorn maker from Room 6 and we made popping popcorn! We ATE it! It tasted DELICIOUS!

How are YOU feeling today? Good?

Gala time!

How exciting! It is so exciting - I think everyone will have so much fun! Miss Rae won't be there having fun but she will be busy. She is joining the march up Queen Street for the World teacher's day celebrations - watch out for her on tv :) Room 13 will have lots to tell her on Monday about the gala!

Holiday weekend news.

What a busy weekend we had - having an extra day off for Labour Day was nice!

Cherkia and Kieran both went on picnics. Pyper headed off to the bach. Alexa, Georgia and Zion both went to the swimming pools - lucky! Catherine went to the pools too for her lessons. Liam, Mackenzie, Georgia, Jensen and Miss Rae all spent time at the shops! Miss Rae also visited Eden Gardens with her family. Arnay went to a Diwali festival celebration and saw fireworks. There are more Diwali celebrations this weekend. Arnay also had a busy weekend with parties. Ben M went to Dargaville and went to the Everything shop. It sells everything! Cool! Kieran, Jensen and Georgia both went fishing at the weekend but Room 13 hasn't seen any fresh fish for lunch! :) Joseph did housework at the weekend - hope he did a good job! Joshua's Grandma came over and they went to explore the rock pools at the beach. Christopher spent time with his friends. Logan went with his family to the garden centre. Jude's sister celebrated her birthday. Liri went to a waterfall at Te Henga. Ben G had fun at the skatepark. Dana's family had some sad news at the weekend :( EunChae's dad printed off photos of her travels to Europe last year. Jessie went to Waipu Cove for the long weekend to spend some time in the sun. Amber went to Rangitoto on the boat and stayed there.

It was lovely weather at the weekend - a sneak preview that Summer and Christmas are on their way! YAY!

HELP! WE HAVE A PROBLEM!

We need 3 parent helpers on each swimming trip for us to be able to go. SO far we have 3 helpers on the first Monday, 1 on the first Wednesday and 2 on the 2nd Monday. We will not be able to go unless we have adult helpers.

Aunties, Uncles and Grandparents welcome. A parent helper needs to help us get on the bus, ride with us, and help us get ready. At the pool the swimming instructors do everything so parent helpers can sit and watch. PLEASE contact us if you can help!!! Either send a note or ring the office or send us an email.

Thanks!
