Garden to Table - Week 2

This week at Garden to Table we made a vegetable pasta dish.
The children enjoyed preparing the vegetables and loved the finished pasta.
Everyone tried it and some children had 3 or 4 helpings!
Thanks to Whaea Sarah for coming in and working with us again this week and to the parent helpers who make Garden to Table possible.
A special thanks to Tuts for working with a group today even though he was not feeling well!

Poetry Writing

Over the last week Room 19 has been having a go at writing poems.
Our poems have been about insects.
Today the children were publishing their poems.
Have a look at how focused they were when working on their publishing and read a couple of the poems.

Tahunanui Rocky Shore and Beach Trip

On Monday the 7th of March the Middle Team went by bus to Tahuna Beach.
First we worked with Mr Science making solar ovens and cooking saveloys.
After that we went down to the beach and the children had a swim in the sea.
Later we ate lunch and then walked to the rock pools with Richard de Hamil who
taught the children about the sea creatures they would find in the rock pools.
The children spent time exploring the rock pools and found many interesting creatures.
After a fantastic day at the beach we caught the bus back to school.
Here are a couple of photos ...





Welcome to the Room 19 blog page

During the year we will be posting pictures and information about things we are learning about and taking part in at school and we would love for you to check in regularly and share the blog with your child and family at home.
