Netball Sessions

Namaste whanau!

For PE this term, we are lucky enough to have weekly netball sessions. We have had an absolute blast with our coaches Georgia and Antonia. they have taught us different types of passes such as chest, overhead and shoulder passes.

We have also learnt that in netball, you cannot move with the ball so it's really important to pivot your feet so you can turn and find someone to pass  the ball to.

Watch out for some of us in the Silver Ferns one day - we are pretty good now!

Lest we forget

Kia ora!

To commemorate ANZAC day on 25th April, we baked some ANZAC cookies with Novak Class. Did you know that women baked biscuits out of oats, butter, flour and sugar and sent them al the way across the world to the soldier who were fighting in the war? Back then it would have taken months for the biscuits to arrive and they were still edible!

When our ANZAC biscuits were ready to eat, we made some trenches out of our desks. We sat in really tight, cramped conditions and ate our cookies while we listened to sounds that you might hear if you were sitting in the trenches. It was a great to experience wha it might have been like to be at war. It really helped us understand how much our soldiers sacrificed for us.

Our Trip to New World

Aloha whanau!

Today we took a bus to New World where we met Adele. She challenged us to find a wide range of food items in the supermarket and read the nutritional information label on the back of the packet. We recorded the amount of sugar, sodium, fat and energy that each product had. 

When we got back to school, we talked about the different ways that companies advertise their products. We found it really interesting that sometimes a product looks healthy or has a reduced fat sticker on it but this doesn't necessarily mean it is a good choice for our bodies.

Food For Thought

Hi everyone.

Today we had a very special visit from Adele. She came to talk to us about healthy eating how important it is to make good decisions about what we choose to eat and drink. Adele taught us how to read food labels so that we can get more information about whats in the food. we we surprised at how much sugar and fat some breakfast cereals have!

We then looked at drinks and had to line them up according to the amount of sugar we thought they might have per 100g.

We can't wait to put this into practice when we visit Adele at the supermarket next week!

Kia Ora bloggers!

On Saturday, Hay Park School will be selling lots of baked goodies at the Molley Green Festival. Today we made a healthy version of honey crackle. We worked in groups to read and follow the instructions. When we had measured all of the ingredients into a pot, we had to melt the butter and honey together. And... of course we had to taste the final product!
