The Olympic Games

Olympic fever has hit Room 3! We are learning about the Olympics and participated in an activity called Double Bounce. This game encourages us to play and display the Olympic value of Excellence. We all gave it our very best and eventually found our six medalists. 

Bronze Medalists (Right): John-Nelson and Anthony.

Silver Medalists (Left): Puanesi and Tasola.

Gold Medalists (Middle): Sofya and Jorjah.

Smiles for the Olympic games.

 

Gardening and bugs!

We went exploring in the garden today. The worm farm had lots of creepy crawlies including centipedes and snails! We were digging holes in the ground and planting seeds to grow. We love being outside in the garden and being good kaitiaki.

 

Room 3 Rūkau

In Room 3, we read the Cook Island Māori book "Rūkau nō te rā 'ānau'anga" (Birthday Rūkau).
Rūkau is a special dish from the Cook Islands. It is made with taro leaves, corned beef, onion and coconut cream. 

After reading the book, we made rūkau the way Moana and Papa Tere made it in the book.

When it had been cooked, we wrote down some instructions so everyone could make it. We even got to eat the delicious rūkau. It was yummy, yummy, yummy!
