Week 11 Term 2

There is no homework this week.

Five groups have their Cultural Dinner Parties this week.

Tuesday 30 June
Groups 8, 1 and 6

Wednesday 1 July
Groups 3 and 2.

Parent help is very much appreciated on these days. Lunch is served at 12.45 so parents helping with preparations prior to this and during the lunch would be great.

We will be having a fun afternoon on Thursday to celebrate Mrs Valois last week with us.

Hand stitching.... not as easy as we thought it would be.

Today we had our very first hand sewing experiences. There were many buttons successfully attached  to fabric and a few epic fails! Just threading a needle and tying a know seemed to challenge some of us. We will begin hand stitching our Matariki Korowai on Thursday, if any parents would like to join us, I think we may need your help!

Nathan Pettigrew

Last week we were fortunate enough to meet Nathan Pettigrew who is a local bone carver and environmentalist.  Nathan showed us some videos and photos of some of the creatures that we share our oceans with.  Watch the videos below.  All of this footage was taken around Mount Manganui either from a boat or a kayak.
Maybe we should all get out on the water.

Cultural Dinner Parties coming soon!

During week 9 (June 15-19) and week 11 (June 29-July 3) Rooms 10 and 11 will be hosting 4 cultural dinner parties.  All class members have been put into groups and there are 10 groups in total.  Each group will host one dinner party where they will cater for 8 people (their group of 6 plus 2 invited Greenpark staff members).  Hosting a dinner party requires each group to supply an entree, main course, dessert, beverages and table decorations.  All food needs to be supplied by group members.  It is expected that all students supply something toward their dinner party. For ease and success we recommend that food is prepared at home then comes to school for re-heating and/or serving.  Today students began brainstorming in their groups about what they may be able to supply. Please discuss with your child what they have pencilled themselves in to supply and what will or will not be convenient for them to manage.  We encourage parents to come and assist your child and their group for the preparation and service of the dinner party. Exact dates and times for each groups service will be announced very soon.  Feel free to comment on the blog with questions, call in and see your child's teacher or send us an email if we can help further. Happy planning!  

Below are some photos of previous dinner parties.
