Trip to Pak'n' Save

Room 7 walked to Pak'n'Save today to continue looking at food labelling. After walking around many fallen trees and branches we made it safely to our destination.  The groups all had fun finding various products in the supermarket and comparing sugar, fibre, salt and fat content.

Many thanks to all our helpers. We really had a good time and also loved our free lunchboxes.  We look forward to using our $60 voucher for a shared lunch in Term 2.

Last day of school fun

Room 7 decided to play a variety of board games on our last day of school.  We learned how to share, co-operate and also have some fun.

Food for thought

Today we had Adele talking to us about the different types of food, and we also learnt how to read food labels in preparation for our trip to Pak'n'Save next week.

Weetbix and Oats are the healthiest cereals - the most fibre and least sugar and salt.  Water and milk the healthiest drinks. 

Duffy Assembly & Daniel Faitaua

We were super lucky to have Daniel Faitaua be the guest speaker for our Duffy assembly this week.  Daniel spoke about the importance of reading, and how it had helped him in his life. Helped him to study, travel and be part of the One News team. He also spoke about the books he read with his 3 boys. (Horrid Henry, Captain Underpants and Tom Gates)  They spend an hour each evening reading and talking about books. How wonderful!!! He also can speak Samoan, English and Japanese. What an inspiration.

We also received two Duffy books each and decorated our box of books - see the photos below.
