Our first Garden to Table!

Take a look at some of the photos from our first lesson at Garden to Table this week. We had a great time learning about gardening tools and what is growing in our garden beds around the school.

In the kitchen, we made some delicious Indian themed food, which we ate together as a whole class to finish the lesson.

You can find the recipes for what we made at the G2T blog here:

End of Term 2 - Puriri Disco Day!

We have had a fantastic, BUSY! term 2 in Room Six. Thanks for keeping up with some of our activities and learning on our class blog.

We finished the term with the Puriri Disco - so many of us got dressed up and showed off our best dance moves.

Well done Zoe C (best dressed girl) and Emacyn (best girl dancer).

See you all in term 3!

Our Community Garden Harvest

One of the benefits of helping out in the Community Gardens - a huge harvest of Jerusalem artichokes to share together.

We simply washed, chopped, and roasted them in the oven. We added garlic, oil, and salt to make them extra delicious.

Lots of children took some home to share with their families after trying them in class.

Matariki 2017 - Planting Harakeke

Happy Matariki 2017 from Room Six. We had a great week making stars with our buddy class, reading myths and legends to explain the star cluster, and we planted a baby Harakeke flax beside Nga Ringa Awhina.

Some super keen children even woke up at 5am Friday morning and got a great view of the Matariki stars from the top of Mt Albert.

Mindful Eating

Who would have thought there was so much to eating an apple (mindfully). 

With the help of our super parent Jane, and a picture book about eating mindfully, Room Six children each examined an apple from every possible angle before we finally got to eat them!

The best thing is, you can do this with any type of food. The enjoyment of your favourite meal can go on for much longer with this new skill!
