An afternoon at the beach

On Wednesday afternoon the weather was perfect, so the children from Tautoru went down to the beach to build sculptures and sandcastles.

The Sleepover

More photos from the year 3 and 4 Sleepover. The children were awesome. Let's do it again next year!

Garden Boxes

Planting has begun in our garden beds. We have planted a lemon tree, feijoas, sunflowers, and peas.

Year 3 and 4 Sleepover

The Year 3 and 4 Sleepover was a chance for the children to grow some independence and reconnect with classmates from the past who will be mingling and mixing again in 2015.

Pikelets

Today Danny's Literacy groups made pikelets. We are learning about explanation writing and we ate pikelets and thought about what they taste like and their texture. Then we did this shared writing to try and explain what a pikelet is:

Pikelets

Do you like pancakes? Well if you do then you are going to like pikelets as well.
A pikelet is a bit like a pancake. The are soft and a bit squishy. They have milk, flour, an egg and sugar in them. While they are cooking in the frying pan you get a delicious buttery smell. When they are cooked you can put butter and jam on them. The butter melts into the pikelet and they almost dissolve in your mouth as you are eating them.
Pikelets! If you haven't tried them, you should!
