Kiwi Harvest Smoothies

Today we made banana & yoghurt smoothies with the kai that 'Kiwi Harvest' brought in for our tamariki. We made special soy milk smoothies for our friends who do not drink cow's milk:)

This was such a healthy way to start our day. Many tamariki were asking if we could do smoothies again tomorrow. We also discussed ideas of other things we could make using our box of bananas...

"How about banana cookies?" (Jasmine)

"I know...a banana monkey!" (Bronson)

"What about some banana milks" (Liku)

Tomorrow, he have agreed to try and make Banana Bread.

Parent Evening

'HEALTHY LUNCHBOXES' was the focus of our discussions for tonight. 

Thanks to Teiho & Letele from Health Star Pacific for sharing their expertise knowledge in this area.

A variety of stations were set up by teachers to generate ideas around the importance of providing healthy lunchboxes for our tamariki.

An eventful night ended with a taste of healthy snacks.

Thanks to everyone who participated in tonight's workshop. It could not have happened without your attendance and input. Watch out for our wall display that will be up over the next few days.

Meitaki maata.

Community Walk

Thursday 9th July The sun came out for us this morning, so we put on our warm coats and shoes and headed off for a walk. First, we went to the Post Shop to post our picture stories home to our whanau...

...and then we went to one of our favourite places, our Glen Innes Library. Tangike found a book with a boat and treasure pictures in it, this story persuaded him to turn into a "grrr..." growling pirate!
