PYJAMA DAY

What a wonderful day we had on Friday in our PJs and onesies. Thank you to Jake Owen who took the photos because the children wanted me in the photo. Check out the range of sleepwear worn by the students in room 12 and the silly faces we can pull.

BRAINY BUNCH

R12 children are the brainy bunch and we were lucky to learn more about how our brains work. In the last week of term 2 we had the Life Education bus (Richard and Harold the Giraffe) teaching us about the brain in an interactive and fun way.

We also had the inflatable brain (see photos) in the hall and we got to hold a real brain if we wanted to!

On Friday we had Judy (Sinead's Mum) come and talk to us about the brain, she brought a client along who had a stroke years ago and had to retrain his brain. The children enjoyed asking him questions.

BROWNIE RECIPE

Keziah's brownies were very popular so here is the recipe:

200g chocolate (dark or milk)
100g butter (melted)
250g sugar
60g cocoa powder
60g flour (can use gluten free flour)
4 eggs

Melt chocolate over a double boiler.
Add in all other ingredients to the chocolate when melted.
Beat until well mixed.
Pour into baking tray.
Cook for 20mins on 180 degrees celcius.
(Will still be a bit soft in the middle)

MISS HANSEN

We are lucky to have Miss (Tess) Hansen teaching in our class at the moment.

MUSEUM VISIT

I hope the children have told you all about the trip to the museum today. We learnt a lot and had fun.
The photos show some of the different bird parts they examined.

EXCITING TIMES!

We have been so lucky to have had the Highlanders at school for the Fonterra day. Amani was our quickest milk container folder and we thought he would win - he was close!

EASTER

Room 12 enjoyed making Easter baskets and biscuits in the last week of term 1. They may have eaten them before they made it home. I hope you had a lovely holiday and are ready for term 2.
