It's the holidays!
How are your holidays going?
This week I have been looking at what we are going to be doing for topic next term. I am REALLY excited about what we are going to be doing. We are going to be learning lots of things together through technology. I am learning lots of new words and trying to understand what they mean. I am sure you will be able to help me learn about these things just as much as I help you.
Here is my first big phrase... Technological outcomes.
I looked up the dictionary -
technological - of or related to technology; relating to science and industry.
outcome - a final product or end result;
Any ideas on what this means and can you give us an example of what a technological outcome would be at your place?
Tell us about your holidays so far.

Cooking with the crusaders
Madeleine had to make some food. I won and my prize was to cook with the crusaders.
The crusader in my team was Cody Taylor. We made spaghetti bolognese with meatballs. I helped mash up the flour and eggs to make the pasta. We put it into a big ball and we wrapped it up in glad wrap and put it in the fridge for a few minutes. When it came out we cut it and then put it through a spaghetti maker machine.
My team WON! I won a goody bag, a cook book and a crusader sword.
I was excited when the crusaders came in. I was a little bit shy.

Jump Rope for Heart
What a great afternoon we had! Lots of laughter, students smiling and encouraging each other. I really loved how the older students worked with the younger ones at my station.
My favorite shot of the day...

Madeleine sure can jump high!
Enjoy the video from my station

Harakeke Weaving
Today Nicci came to school and taught us how to weave using harakeke (flax)
We had to listen and follow instructions and be patient when we needed help.
Thank you to all the parents who came and helped.

I am really looking forward to weaving the harakeke tomorrow!

Snow day!
Finally enough snow to have to call school off for the day. We started the day, and then down came the snow.
Ripena has never been in snow before. It doesn't snow in Samoa!


Ruby on her way home.

What have you been up to in the snow?

SNOW
Well school was open for half an hour today. Just enough time to get some of our snow poems published. I loved the way we looked at the camera more today!
