Week 11

What a great morning we had baking hot cross buns and biscuits. Jane did a wonderful job of modelling the process and the students joined in to stir, knead and measure ingredients. This activity involved mathematical thinking, reading, science and technology.

The children also worked together on their sharing, taking turns and encouraging each other skills. All these attributes are wonderful Tall Learner goals. The buns were delicious and so were the biscuits.

Due to high demand here is the biscuit recipe-thanks Jane!
250 grams melted butter
2 cups flour
1 cup icing sugar
1 cup cornflour

Mix dry ingredients
Add melted butter and mix into a dough
Put into baking paper and shape into a log
Bake for 10-15 minutes until golden in an oven 150-160 degrees.

We chocolate dipped ours and used tiny piping bags Jane had made.

Week 10

What a great week we have had- our junior syndicate dance was fantastic in assembly on Thursday! Everybody put in lots of energy and effort.

Please use the online booking system for interviews next week.
I look forward to seeing you all next week.

Thankyou in advance to Rebecca, Fiona, Jane and Liz for your assistance in baking hot cross buns on Monday. I will post photos and the children's writing about the event.

Enjoy the weekend!

Old woollen blankets

Does anyone have any old pieces of woollen cloth or an old blanket we could cut up to make hearts on Friday? The Lyttelton ladies bring in cloth but it is great to get a variety and allow the children some creativity in their choice of colors.
Nikki Heffernan is relieving for me today, I am at home with a sick Ted (my youngest). Dad is on duty tomorrow though!Nikki is a fantastic guitarist and I have asked her to bring her guitar to entertain the children.

1st April

What a busy day, we had Jump Jam, Poetry, Maths and the lovely ladies from Lyttelton came to visit. They are returning next Friday if anyone would like to help us sew.

The disco was really cool- I pulled a muscle busting out moves with Tim!

We are performing in assembly Thursday 11.45-12.30pm. That's all I am going to say.....It will be cool though

A reminder to get the Willowbank  (12th April)  forms in next week please

A budding young artist

Just a couple of reminders...

Don't forget to give Paula in the office $2 for Life Education, we met Harold today and the children were totally absorbed with him and his message. Also Wednesday 3.30pm is the junior part of the school disco. I am dusting off my dancing shoes and will head over to the hall just before it starts.

It is lovely to have Lucy, Lucas, Luke and Max back with us again, we are sitting at around 17 on the roll at present.

If you have the chance ask your child to skip count in 2's and 5's, they are keen on it!

See you at the disco if not before.
