Learning Celebration Performance

Our entire school celebrated our inquiry learning, with each class putting together a little performance on top of our students' STEAM programs throughout this term.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank all our wonderful parents who supported their child's learning this term. Your help is invaluable.

Performance by Rooms' 4 and 5:

Biscuit Making

Our students had a great experience by baking a special batch of biscuits today. They all had a chance to put some of the ingredients in the bowls.

Students learned about measurement and division (each got a big ball, which they had to split into four equal parts). 

This fun activity also encouraged teamwork and developed patience... as students had to wait for the biscuits to cook!

Thank you to Whaea Kate for sharing her baking skills and to Whaea Halei who catered for the gluten free student in our class.
