Visiting Te Parapara garden at Hamilton Gardens. 

We visited the gardens today instead of the Marae (due to a tangi).

After a fantastic welcome at Te Parapara gardens by Pippa and the Kapahaka we enjoyed morning tea in the shade. 
We walked around lots of beautiful gardens.  We looked at flowers,  tomatoes, bumble bees, the Zeppelin, and the old car in the Katherine Masefield garden. 

Our favourite garden was the Indian summer garden as it had lots of water fountains to cool our arms and faces in!

Making ice cream and settling into Room 4. 

Last week we made ice cream!  we used cream, vanilla essence and sugar. We placed it all inside a bag of ice and shook it round and round until it was solid and frozen (sort of). 

It tasted delicious, especially with sprinkles.

Making Ice Cream was fun but messy!!!

        

We have visited the school library with Cathy and Madeline.  We go to the library every Tuesday. 

We have finished our individual portraits!  

Come in and see them up on the wall. 

   

Everyone seems to have found their way around the classroom but are still finding areas to play in and explore. 

Welcome to Room 4.

Making smoothies!

We had visitors from Room 9 who made smoothies for us. They explained the process as they worked.
First, they added milk..

Next they added yoghurt..

Then they added sliced bananas..

Finally, they added mixed berries..

They blended all of the ingredients together..

It was loud!

They poured it into cups..

The excitement was almost too much!

The finished product was delicious..
