Harvesting

This week we spent time in the garden. First we had to pull out the weeds around our growing vegetables. We then planted some companion plants such as spring onion to keep the insects away. We then harvested our Kumara and also our Parisian Market Carrots. Our carrots are a little bit different than what we usually see at the supermarket. They are small and round and have only been in the ground for 4 weeks! We have left some of them in to keep growing so we can see how big they can get. We then took our produce inside to peel and cut. We added salt, pepper and oil and cooked them in an air fryer. This made yummy roasted vegetables that we were able to eat!

 

Hauora - Swimming!

Swimming is well underway this term! We have been focusing largely on water safety. Living in Aotearoa we are surrounded by water. This is why it is so important for us to learn to swim and feel safe and confident in the water. Check out some of our experiences below! It has been lovely having the opportunity to swim on these hot summer days.

 

Welcome back to school!

Screen Free for Wellbeing Wednesday!

Kia ora! Today is Wellbeing Wednesday! The challenge set for today is to focus on our Hauora. This means we will take a break from digital learning today and give ourselves a chance to focus on things that make us happy. Please have a look at our Hauora slideshow below and complete the non digital tasks this way. The BINGO below is another way you can work non digitally.

I will post about Jan's new friend tomorrow at 10am. If you haven't already had a look at the evidence pictures and made your predictions you can do so tomorrow before 10am! Enjoy your day with your family!

Hauora Challenge! - Te Whare Tapa Whā

 

Hauora!

Cross country training is well under way! This year we are participating in cross country by either running or fast walking. We are learning about setting realistic goals for ourselves and why participating in daily kori tinana is great for our hauora. While we are practising for our cross country we are also working towards our Rā Hauora in week 5 of this term. The Amazing Race - Rā Hauora will be a fun team race with a focus on collaboration and inclusiveness.
