HELLO Term 4

 

Students of the week

    Grow and Go

Akoranga Tahi is super excited to be part of the Grow and Go programme this term.  We had so much fun learning about the plants in our garden and adding some mulch to the potato beds.  The team in the kitchen whipped up a fabulous snack for us too!  

Pizza Reading Challenge   

Throughout the year we have challenged the students to read 7 books (novels) and win a pizza from Hells Pizza. Today Jasper finished his Pizza Wheel! He read 35 of his reading journals! We are so proud of his achievement. We hope he enjoys his pizza the next time he goes to town.

Team Building Games

In preparation for camp and as part of our Kia Kaha inquiry, we are having some fun playing different team building games. Here are some pics of us doing the balloon cup relay challenge. No hands!

                 

Week 10

 

Grow n Go

This was Hauraki's last week at Grown n Go. It was a blustery day but the gardeners managed to get the new potato bed ready, the other bed is sprouting already! We ground wheat into wholemeal flour, this was very taxing as they had to go through the grinder multiple times. We put some pine needles around the strawberries and planted some peas. Meanwhile, in the kitchen, the chefs were making banana and date muffins with whipped cream, revived bread with herb dip and herbal tea.  It has been an amazing term, and we are very lucky to have the wonderful ladies Hadas, Dorothy and Simone teaching us how to repurpose and grow our own food.

Friday Fun Theme - Dress-ups from around the world

Our own hybrid games - Three legged netball and Raceball (rugby baseball)

These were so much harder to play then we thought! Thanks to Maisie and Catelyn for your game ideas

Musical Performances

Well done to all of the students who bravely performed their musical talents to the seniors on Thursday. We had piano solos, singing, drums and guitar. Then they all came together as The Schoolies to perform some numbers. Here is a snippet.
