Technology day at Te Waotu School

On Thursday the 11th of July the Year Three Team from Room 3 attended the Putaruru Junior Teachers' cluster gathering at Te Waotu school for a technology day centred around " Flight."

We explored birds, planes, kites, helicopters and parachutes. It was great fun and we want to thank Mrs Webb for being there with us, we couldn't have done it without you! We hope our smiles tell you how much we enjoyed it.

Welcome to Rory's lovely little sister.

Rory has plenty of reasons to be smiling this term.... his family has just welcomed Lorelle into their wonderful family. It was a lovely surprise to meet her and Room 3 is quite smitten with her. Congratulations!!!

Giant Soup

HO HO HO! Fee Fi Foe Fum! 
Mrs Jones and Room 3 made a GIANT pot of soup on a very cold winter's day. Some of our children had been reading Giant Soup and we have all been learning to write instructions. There were some fabulous recipe suggestions for our Giant Soup that came from our writing. Well done everyone!!
It tasted a great too, even if we didn't put a boy in it!

Kahurangi Dance Theatre

Kuranui School has been most fortunate to join other small schools in the Matamata Cluster to see this fabulous group of performers deliver a polished, professional act. 
They delighted us with their wit, skill and craft as we watched, interacted and thoroughly enjoyed our selves. thank you to the Principal of St Josephs for allowing to attend this spectacular event. We all loved it!!

HAND WASHING, ANYONE!!

Kuranui School has had a visit  from the health Nurse, Mrs Grant to tell us about how to deal with all the coughs and sneezes that winter brings. We learn that a sneeze travels at 380 kmph. That's amazing!!
More importantly we have been remembering to wash our hands as this is our best defence against the germs that lurk everywhere we are, especially as we are cooking up a storm in Room 3.

The Cabbage Tree Cafe Visit.

Wow!!! 
Room three children were treated to the most incredible cafe experience in Tirau. Sharon and Nigel at The Cabbage Tree Cafe  invited us to join them to experience the inside workings of their cafe, restaurant and bakery. First we ate banana, bacon and french toast for breakfast followed by bread making tour where children rolled and plaited their own bread. Next we split up into groups to make hash browns, see coffee being made and find out about food storage and kitchen safety. 

Thank you so much for the amazing teaching and learning that you provided for the class. We really appreciate the time and effort you went too. Our children and parents are still buzzing from the experience.
Who would know that behind that tiny looking cafe such a lot is happening!
