Hedgehogs in Cullinane!

We made delicious healthy hedgehogs using lots of fresh fruit and vegetables. We are going to write instructions for others to make them like we did. 

Science Experiments!

In Term 4, we will be learning about Science during topic time.  We will be exploring the process that scientists go through when they are doing an experiment.  

Have a look at this science experiment.  What do you notice happens?  Can you have a go at doing this experiment at home, perhaps using different colour food-colourings.  Take some photos!  We will talk more about this experiment and the science process when we get back to school.

Wearing Samoan Clothing

We are dressing up in Samoan clothing. Edison is wearing a lavalava. Lexie is wearing a lavalava as a dress.  Lexie is also wearing a lei around her neck and a head lei, too. 

Making Samoan Lei!

We are making lei using straws and paper flowers!

Cutie's Holiday

Cutie went to Pouakai Zoo in the holidays!

Cutie saw lions, tigers, monkeys, donkeys, sheep and lots of other animals.

Cutie got a kiss from a goat and from a blue-tongue lizard!

The Wedding at Cana

We acted out Jesus' First Miracle.
Jesus turned water into wine at the Wedding at Cana.  

Aren't we fantastic actors and actresses?

Making Flour

We are learning how flour gets to the table.

We used a mortar and pestle to grind up wheat grains.

We used a spice grinder to help turn the grains into fine flour.

We will use our flour in some baking!

Pumpkins

We sliced up a pumpkin for writing.  

We used our senses to describe the pumpkin.

We followed a recipe to make delicious pumpkin soup.

Honey Video

Look at this brave man collecting honey for his family!

The Honey Process

We have been thinking about how Honey gets to our table.

We were lucky to have a beekeeper come to our class.

Brent showed us his hive and all of the frames inside.

He showed us his smoker and his veil.  Cooper tried it on!

We looked at the honeycomb and felt the wax. 

We were amazed at how clever honey bees are!

Irish Soda Bread

We have learnt about the process of how bread gets to our table.

We used the buttermilk we made from cream to make Irish Soda Bread.

We loved the bread! Mmmmmm!
