Garden To Table helpers required!

Hi all,

We are in need of Garden to Table parent/grandparent helpers for our next session - Tuesday 1 August. Room 2 begin at 9am, and Room 1 at 11.30am. Let us know as soon as possible if you are able to come along and help! Much appreciated!

We will be planting and harvesting in the garden, and making Brocolli Balls and Aioli in the kitchen. As these are only a 'snack' food, children will still need to bring a normal lunch to school.
Thank you.

Broccoli Balls

Ingredients:

• 2 cups broccoli, made up of grated broccoli stalk and/or cooked broccoli florets, finely chopped
• 1 small onion grated or finely chopped
• 1 egg
• 1/3 cup plain flour
• 1/2 cup parmesan cheese, grated
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• Pepper, to taste
• 1 tablespoon fresh herbs, finely chopped (optional)

Method

Preheat oven to 180 degrees C

Mix all ingredients together.

Roll mixture into teaspoon sized balls and place on baking tray

Bake for 12-15 minutes turning half way through baking time

A great last day :-)

Dojo Spending Fun day tomorrow!

Hi everyone,

Just letting you know that tomorrow (Wednesday) is our term dojo-point spending day, where children get to "cash in" the dojo points they have earned all term for showing our school values and completing top quality work.

The children have voted for the activities they would like to do as a reward for their top effort, and the following have been decided upon:

- Bring a favourite game to school. This could be a board game, or toy.
- Fidget spinners are allowed in class from 11.30 - 12.30
- There'll be a craft table for children to make things
- We'll watch a movie from 1.30 - 2.45pm accompanied by popcorn.

It should be a lot of fun! Make sure games and toys that are bought are clearly named, so that nothing precious goes missing.

The last Monday of Term 2

This morning the Caterpillar reading group performed "Puss in Boots" for the Room 2 readers. They read with expression and confidence!

We had a small furry visitor this morning - Connor's pet rabbit Marshmellow. He hopped around the circle saying hello to the Discoverers.

Cross Country Zones this Tuesday

Kia ora whanau,

Just a reminder that the Cross Country Zones are on tomorrow (Tuesday), down at Hillview School. If your child is going, they need to bring their running shoes, and a drink bottle, and be ready to go in the morning.

The permission slip sent home with zones-runners contains further information.

Good luck SMS runners!
