Technology with Room 20

  Ashley, Marcus T, Corey, Jasmine, Sydney, Eleanor, Emilene, Vlad, Craig, Jade and Vincent spent some time in Room 20 with the 5 year olds to help them with the tricky parts of their technology creations.  The design brief was to make a chair for their teddy to sit on.  The success criteria was for them to be big enough to fit teddy, sturdy and strong so it stays still when teddy sits on it, creative and unique.  Some of the chairs had drink holders!!!

                     

CAROLS @ WAIKANAE SCHOOL - December 18th

KIDS CAN COOK KITCHEN

Today we had so much fun listening, cooking and tasting with 'Master Chef'!  We made apple and silverbeet french crepes which tasted delicious.  We learnt that the tip of your tongue tastes sweet, and the sides and middle of your tongue tastes sour.  When you put both together you create 'savoury'.

Sydney was 'Sous (su) Chef' which means 2nd in command whilst in the kitchen.  One of the pictures shows 'Master' plugging Sydney in so she can whisk the flour, egg and milk!

For you basketball fans...... very cool

Tongariro Trout Fishing

Marcus had a fantastic weekend away with his grandparents and thoroughly enjoyed the Tongariro Trout Fishing experience.  They only do it 5 times a year and he got to be part of it.  Check out the flyer he brought back to school to share with us.  Some of you may be up that way in the summer holidays.

Waikanae Surf Club

We had a good turn out on Sunday for the Waikanae Surf club registrations.  Great to see some Room 10 faces.  It is not too late to join.  Check out the website for more information.  See if you can spot Mrs Cameron's husband.......

Term 4 Reading Challenge

See if you can take a photo and upload onto a google doc or some kind of presentation you would like to share with the rest of the class at the end of term.  

Some of our class members may enjoy reading the books you have read.

This reading challenge replaces our weekly reading log and it's intention is to show you that reading is fun and can be enjoyed almost anywhere. 

Please use the devices we have in class to assist you and ask questions.  Happy to help as always ;)

These photos show some of our students reading plays.

Roman used PicMonkey to create this amazing collage of photos.  Awesome.
