YUM... PAVLOVA!

Today Mrs Lunn made Pavlova with a group of children.  The were very intrigued how Mrs Lunn separated the eggs.  She even brought in her very old mixer to whisk the eggs for us.  It is pretty noisy but certainly did the trick.

Riley cut up his apple.

Caleb was looking forward to making his banana smoothie.

FRIDAY PHOTOS

We love Fridays!

This term we have a cooking workshop each Friday.  Each of us have opted to cook two different foods.  On Friday Mrs Kenyon made Chocolate Pudding with a group.

You can check out what we chose to cook on the lists by the Snack Trays.

We also have Art Workshops going on on a Friday too!

We each have chosen two different types of Art that we would like to make.  This week Mrs Ruawai taught the kids how to paint like Mondrain - a famous French Artist!

You will find the lists of who is doing what, down the hallway towards the Jungle.

  Didn't we do well!

We also had Piako 2 Whanau.  This is the assembly we organise by ourselves - for ourselves.
