Today at tech we cooked egg fried rice. Lucky for us we get to eat it. It tastes so good and it is really fun to cook as well.

Today at tech we are making pizza and it's really fun and if we have time we will be making ginger bread men. It's great to be in food tech and we get to eat it afterwards.

Te Kupu o te Wiki: Tāwhirimātea

Ever since Te Wiki o te Reo Māori (Maori Language week), we have been learning a new kupu (word) each week. Some weeks, it is easy to fit the word into a conversation. When we had engari (but) it was easy: Meg is good at tennis, engari Sophie is better!

This week's kupu is Tāwhirimātea - god of wind and storms. We think this will be a bit harder to fit into conversation! Here is a short video about Tāwhirimātea:

Tech

Today at tech we are making funny cars. We get to chose what we want our cars to look like.

We are given a piece of wood and Mr Hardwood teaches us how to cut the windows out and gives us a plan to complete.

Elections 2014 - Kids Voting

This year, our teacher signed us up for Kids Voting as part of the 2014 Elections. We've learned a little bit about the way our government is chosen, and what they do for us. The best part is, we got to have our say by filling in our Kids Voting ballot forms! We even did the count of voting papers from the Moa team in the same way that the officials will do the count on Election night. It will be interesting to see if our votes match what happens across New Zealand on Election Day.
