Making Hamburgers

Today at school we made our own production line and made hamburgers. We did this as part of our Production and Process Technology topic. It was heaps of fun. We got to choose what we wanted to put in our hamburgers. There was lettuce, tomato, cheese, pickle, tomato sauce and mayo. Then we got to go outside on the field and eat our own hamburgers. We tried to make our hamburgers how we had seen the people at Subway making their sandwhiches.

Seans Rat

On Friday Sean bought in his pet rat called 'Ratty'. We all got to have a pat and watch 'Ratty'. Miss Lind doesnt like rats so she didnt touch him!

Life Education

We have been going to the Life Education van. We have learnt lots of new things. We got to make up a puzzle of the food pyramid. It was interesting to see what the go foods are. We also learnt that we need to eat a variety of different foods to keep us healthy and strong.

Our Trip To Subway

Today we walked down to Subway in Greerton. We went to see how the Subway sandwhiches are made as this term we are looking at the production and process area in Technology. When we were there we got to have a look out the back of the store and see all the food before it goes out the front. It was really interesting seeing how everything looks over the other side of the counter. Once we had all looked out the back we got to go out the front and watch our Subway sandwhiches being made. Then we got to take our sandwhiches out to the Greerton Square to eat them in the sunshine. It was great fun, and now we know what our production line is going to look like when we make our own hamburgers in class on Thursday. Keep an eye out for photos!




We got to have a look in the freezer. It was -16 degrees!















We saw how the bread get their toppings on them.











This is where the breads get cooked.












The man was really quick at making our Subway sandwhiches.











It was nice eating our Subway in the park.

Art Suite

Today we had our first art suite session for the term. We spent the whole morning in the art suite making our paper mache masks.

We each had a mould that we were going to use to make our masks. We had to choose a warm or a cold colour to do first, then we had to put newsprint onto it once we had done a layer of colour paper mache. We got glue all over our hands, but it was heaps of fun. Mrs Gilpin was helping us to check that all of the pieces of paper were glued down properly. We cant wait to go back to the art suite on Thursday to finish our art! Look out for pictures of our finished master pieces soon :-)

Music and Drama Suite

We are now back at school and ready for Term 4. We are lucky enough to be rostered into the Music and Drama suite also. We love going up there as we get to sing songs, play the instruments and do some drama. Today we were miming to the music that was being played. We were pretending that we were playing the instruments that we could hear in the music. It was great fun. We also got to go on the keyboards which we love!!

Black Out Day

Today at school we had a black out day to support the All Blacks. The teachers and children got to dress in black. We went out onto the field after morning tea and spelt out 'GO NZ' and took a photo of it to send the the All Blacks. We hope they like it! Our class was in the middle of the letter N.

Sports Prizegivings

As the winter sports come to an end there have been a number of sports prizegivings. Ryan in our class has been involved in the Green Cats Mini Ball team. They had their prizegiving today and each member of the team got their own medal.

Argyll Reserve Walk

This morning the Mauao syndicate went for a walk through the Argyll Reserve near school. It was a great way to start our morning and we had lovely weather for it. We went down there to have a look at the spring flowers and see how the environment changes in different seasons. We saw some Tui birds and some Monarch butterflies. We also go to see lots of different types of flowers.

The Blues - Making Lunch

Yesterday in class the 'Blues' reading group read a book - Making Lunch. In the book some kids made their lunch at school. They made wraps. We thought that it would be fun to make our lunch at school like in the book. Miss Lind bought in the ingredients and the 'Blues' reading group made their lunch. We had carrot, lettuce, tomato and chesse in our wraps. We made them just before lunch and then got to eat them at lunchtime. They were Yummy!

Miss Lind had to grate the carrot and cheese so that we didnt hurt our fingers.









Jack and Cody had heaps of fun Making their wraps.

Sam and Brianna are putting all the yummy foods into their wraps.









It was hard wrapping them up so that everything didnt fall out when we ate it.








It was so yummy eating our wraps.
