We are so happy because we were
chosen as the best class during whole
school assembly. We made eye contact
with the speakers and kept our hands
and legs in the right place.
Super audience manners!

Making Stuffed Kumara to Celebrate Matariki
This week Room 12 students are taking part in a variety of activities related to the celebration of Matariki- Maori New Year.
Today we went into the staffroom and did some cooking in our table groups.
After washing our hands and putting on a shirt to protect our uniform, we took turns at doing these things:
Clean the kumara
Push the buttons on the microwave to cook the kumara
Chop the mushrooms
Grate the cheese
Scrape the kumara insides out
Mash the kumara
Mix our ingredients together
Spoon the mixture back into the kumara
Sprinkle cheese on top before grilling the kumara
Matariki is a good time to remember how special our friends and family are and to look after them. We worked on taking turns and sharing equipment when preparing our food. We took our stuffed kumara home to share with our families.
