Kūmara for Matariki!

Today Room 10 made kūmara wedges as part of our learning about healthy eating and as part of our Matariki celebrations!

The kūmara chips were oven baked and the skin was left on for extra fibre.  That's what makes them a better choice than hot chips from the takeaways which are fried in a lot of oil and have less nutritional benefits.

We paired them up with a sour cream and sweet chilli dipping sauce and they were DELICIOUS.

Hari Matariki koutou!

Planting for Matariki

On Tuesday the Kia Manawanui syndicate (Year 7s and 8s) went to Paddington Reserve to take part in a community planting day, organised by MADAVE.  Here is a video of our experience!

Our Sugar Songs!

Today Room 10 had to perform their songs/raps that we had written in response to our learning from watching That Sugar Film.

We were entertained all afternoon and we were amazed at the creative lyrics that different groups came up with.

If you would like to watch the videos - you can!  They have all been embedded in the Google slides below.  Enjoy!
