Yummy lunchboxes and the cello

We have been learning about the best things to put in our lunchboxes.

We LOVE banannas!

We brought our lunchboxes into our class to see what we had in them.  It was fun to talk about all our food...YUMMY!

We also LOVE apples, do you?

 We were very fortunate to have a teacher at our school come and play the cello to us.

We learnt that the cello is played with a 'bow' made of horsehair.

The cello sounded soft and beautiful.  It made us feel happy inside.  The music was soft and floaty not like the drums!

We then drew the cello, come and see our pictures on the wall.  

The cello has lots of curves to draw.  It's quite a tricky instrument to draw.

Nutrition Lessons with Project Energize

Project Energize have been coming to Hamilton East School to teach us about what food and drink we put into our bodies and if what we are eating is the right thing....

It's been very interesting...

We have been learning about what to eat for breakfast.  It is very interesting learning which cereals are the best for us without too much sugar.

These are the foods we can have everyday, these foods give us a good start to help us learn.

These foods are every so often choices, they contain some sugar, but not as much as the cereals below...

These foods are treats as they contain a lot of sugar... 

Have a look and see what you eat and drink at home...are they the best choices?  Next week we are looking at what goes into our lunchboxes...

Room 3 liked all of the drums, the 'can' song, the 'fire' song and the song that the Hamilton East School children played with the performers.

It was SO loud!

Financial Literacy

We recently had a super hero from ASB bank come to school to tell us all about being wise with our money.

She explained to us the difference between a 'need' and a 'want'!

Ask your children about it...

Harvest Festival

We are busy making things for our Harvest Festival on Friday.

Dugan is carving our pumpkin.

Here is Dugan cutting our pumpkin.

We are getting the seeds out.

It felt squishy!

We all had a turn getting the seeds out!

We would like to plant our seeds and grow another pumpkin.

We are making cheese and tomato kebabs for sharing at the Harvest Festival

We are making a kebab.

We are learning how to make the kebabs.

Everyone has a turn...

We can't wait to try our kebabs and hope the rest of Hamilton East School likes them.
