Kia Ora






















Last term when we were building our whare Desharne asked  Gayle and Rachel if we could have an afternoon building things with cartons.
Guess what we did this week?

Collecting boxes and cartons from Gayle's car

The collection of boxes that we had to choose from...

Drawing plans of how we are going to use our boxes











Working together...team work

















This is Luke...

Ryan's creation....

What do you think about this idea?



We are so proud of what we have achieved!

This week it was Aieshar's turn to choose what we would cook.

She chose pumpkin soup as it is very good for you and she loves it!

Cutting the pumpkin....


Putting the pumpkin into the pot....


Have  we got 1 kilo of pumpkin yet?






What is this Gayle?......It is a whole nutmeg...we have to grate it.
Do you like the smell?

Peeling the skin off the onion...

Chopping the onion....

Putting everything into the pot...



Now to cook the ingredients....


Whizzing the pumpkin mixture to make it smooth....









Now to try ......

Fantastic...can i have some more please....

I'm not so sure but I am going to try it....

I loved it....

I'm not so sure about this.....

 We have been doing our bird tally chart.
At first the birds didn't want to come and get our food but now they are there all day pecking away at what we have put out for them.
 Wax eyes are the birds that visit us the most.
We are really enjoying them coming to visit.....they are so interesting to watch. They peck at the food then fly away but then they are back again very quickly. Their stomachs must be very full.

Enjoy your weekend!
