Making Bread

Meet the Room 7 bakers.

We wondered how bread was made so, last week in Room 7 we made bread. It was interesting to watch how the yeast mixture went frothy and the dough became more and more stretchy when we kneaded it. The yeast made the dough rise and our bread rolls grew bigger when we left them on the tray. They smelled delicious when they came out of the oven and they tasted yummy too. Some of the children put butter on their bread. 

Now we are wondering how butter is made.....

Elliot our class bear is 22 years old now. To help him celebrate this important occasion, the children of R.7 organised a party. We had to make decorations, invitations, games, party food, party hats and a birthday card.

Friday 2 June was the party day and we all had a great time. Elliot was most impressed with his party planners.

It was Samoan Language Week last week.  Mr J talked to us about Samoan culture. We have learned greetings; counting to 10; a Samoan song, and a traditional dance - the  Sasa.

Mia, Iris and Sunyu read a Ready to Ready book titled "Getting Ready for the Visitors" by Kiwa Hammond. The book was about visitors coming onto a Marae. We learned about the words Kapai and Kia ora. Here are Mia, Iris and Sunyu to tell you what they mean.
Music is 'Tena Koe - Hello to one' sung by William Poutu.
