Fast food

Yesterday in Te Ngahere Whaea Gina came in to talk to us about fast food restaurants. We talked about healthy and unhealthy hearts, then she showed us the food labels with the amount of fat that you receive from each in little bottles. The ones that Whaea Gina recommended for us to eat are Subway, Sushi, sometimes butter chicken or going to the shop and buying some healthy food. The ones that she didn’t recommend for us to eat were Mcdonalds, KFC, Carl's Jr and Wendy’s. Did you know that Carl's Jr is the most unhealthy restaurant in New Zealand? There are 14 teaspoons of fat with each burger and chips. Next time someone offers me junk food like KFC, I might refuse to eat it.

Tecnology

For the past few weeks Te Ngahere has been doing Technology, our WALT was to create a useful product for selling or for our classroom. Boombe, Keekee and I created 3 kitchen spice racks that could hold things like spices, salt, pepper etc. My favourite part of making this product was the sanding part because I liked the way it turned out and made such a difference. I think that the hardest part measuring where the stick had to go because they all had to be the EXACT same!!! I think our product turned out awesome and we can’t wait to make something like this again!!!

Te Wiki O Te Reo Maori week

For the past couple of days the whole of Paihia School celebrated Te Wiki O Te Reo Maori week by doing Rotations. There were ten activities being held by teachers but each group only got to do nine and miss one. There were two leaders per house group and then there were some house groups that were combined. I really enjoyed Te Wiki O Te Reo Maori  and I can’t wait for this event to happen again.
