Kai Teams

Thursday 5th November
We were set a 5 week food challenge.  We organised ourselves into cooking groups. The first week we had to cook something from scratch using eggs, the second week rice, third week potatoes, fourth week pasta and the final week strawberries. We have used local ingredients such as farm eggs, local home kill sausages, home grown parsley, Bok Choi, vegetables out of the school garden and home gardens. Each group has had to research the main ingredient, choosing a dish from another country and then recreating it as best they can.  The presentation has to include the original image and their own. It is taste tested by the teacher and then shared by everyone in the group.

    What an amazing experience and so much learning Room 2! I bet you have tasted some delicious food and tried out some new things as well. I really like that you are making it from 'scratch', I try really hard not to eat any processed food and it is great that you are really thinking about what you put into your bodies too. You are so lucky to live in a rural community where you can source good quality local ingredients. Fantastic that you can access the school garden too. Thanks for sharing your learning on the blog:-)

Dubai - SriLanka

Hi everyone, I finally figured out how to access the class Blog so here is my update. I wonder what the temperature is in NZ? It has been 37 most days here, one day even got up to 40🌞 We have been swimming in the Indian Ocean, Persian Gulf and the Bay of Bengal - can you find them on the map? Sri Lanka was a very different place to visit, definitely not a rich country like Dubai, there are a lot of poorer areas, but it has beautiful beaches and the National Parks are great. It is really really sad to see all the forests being cut down though, there have been 35 people killed by elephants already this year as the elephants come down to the people's farms looking for food. There are so many people in Sri Lanka, over 19 million, and their country is smaller than NZ. This made driving on the roads very interesting, there are cars, buses, tuk tuks, motorbikes and bicycles going in all directions. It was like being in a car rally every day! One day we were stopped by a policeman ...

Week 7 Term 1 Cricket Coaching

-
Kia ora 'Yippee!" we all yelled. It was a lovely sunny day at Ohaeawai School and we were all going out onto the field to have lessons in how to play cricket from a couple of professional coaches. They taught us all the basic skills first and then they taught a variation on the traditional game of cricket. This variation makes the game quicker and more exciting for children. We all loved it. Here is a video to show you how it works.

Zoofari

-
Kia ora This week all of the Moana kids who hadn't been on a zoofari trip to Auckland Zoo before, got to participate in one. A zoofari is an overnight trip to Auckland Zoo where you get to sleep in the old elephant house where the elephants Burma and Kashin used to live. You get two guided walks around the zoo, one in daylight and one in the dark accompanied by zoo keepers who know all about the zoo and its animals. You also get some free time to roam the zoo with your teachers and the parents who volunteered to come along. On top of this you get a barbecue dinner and breakfast. Thanks to the generosity of Auckland Zoo, Ritchie's Bus Company and The Warehouse, all of this comes absolutely free! The only cost per kid is $10 to buy lunch and morning tea. So, 45 of us plus Mrs Henderson, Mrs Brajkovich, Mr Solly, Mrs Edge, Mr Palmer and Mrs Chamberlain zoomed down to the big city. We saw so many amazing animals and the whole trip was just marvellous. One of the highlights was...
