We grew a sandwich

Last Friday we picked the veges from our garden and made delicious healthy sandwiches.

We had chicken luncheon, carrots, kale, radishes, capsicum and silverbeet in them. 

Mrs Warrington helped us pick and wash the veges and Whaea Julianna helped us to 
put the sandwiches together. 

They were delicious!!! 
Vegetables always taste so much better when you grow them yourself. 

Here's some pictures of us making and enjoying our healthy sandwiches.

WELCOME BACK!!!!!

Kia ora, Malo e lelei. Talofa, Bula Vinaka,

Hello and welcome back to room 9. This is our first post for 2017 and we hope to bring you many more stories about us and what we've been up to at our awesome school Leabank!!!

Here's a few tips for helping your children get through the cold weather:

1. Please make sure they come to school with a sweatshirt and shoes. It's getting pretty cold now and lots of children come to school with no sweatshirt or shoes and end up very cold at school.

2. If your children are sick please keep them at home so they don't spread their germs and make all of us sick.

3. If your children are not sick then they need to come to school.

4. Rain and wind is no reason to stay home.

5. Make sure your child has enough healthy lunch. Some children eat all their lunch at 1st break and then are hungry the rest of the day. Give them some extra sandwiches. Not more packets of chips. We all know how much more we eat in the winter. 

6. We will not be ordering juicies or fruit sticks from the lunch room until September. Those things are too cold to be eating now and most of the children are shivering and shaking while they are trying to eat them. They'd be better off with a popcorn.

7. Wear a beanie if it's particularly cold, I do.

Jump Rope

We had a great day today for Jump Rope for Heart. The sun was shining, the sausage sizzle was delicious and our ice blocks were the best. Thanks to Miss Pasirio for organising a great day. We look forward to next years event.

Fizzing Lemonade Take two

We tried it again and this time success! The key was lots more flavour and lots more sugar because the last lot was so kawa. This time it was delicious. We even got bubbles just like coke.

Fizzing, Bubbling, Sherbet

We made sherbet as part of our topic today. It was very cool. The citric acid and bi-carbonate mix together with the saliva in our mouths to make a fizzy chemical reaction. We thought it was delicious, bubbly, fizzy, sour, soft, yummy and delicious. We took some photos of it fizzing in water and in our mouths. It's such a cool thing to make I'm going to make it at home.

Ready.......

Steady, Go!!!!

We tried to make fizzing lemonade and it was not good. Everyone said it had no taste. So we're going to try again next week. That's science for you though isn't it. Maybe it will work, maybe it won't. Adjust your ingredients or method and try again.

Shake, Shake, Shake

Our topic this term is kitchen chemistry so today we made butter. It was so easy. Just pour cream into a container or jar and shake, shake, shake it up until it turns into butter. Here's a few photos of us shaking it up and eating bread spread with our delicious creamy butter. Keep an eye out for our next post on fizzing lemonade. Yummy can't wait!!
