Cook a Meal for the Family

In Week 7 the challenge will be to show that you are helping out at home.

Many children have shown an interest in cooking a meal, thanks to Taine who set the challenge off last week. Cooking involves many learning areas - reading recipes, understanding oven temperatures, measuring ingredients, timing and showing our school CARE values to your family.

So far Taine, Jade, Aria and Grace have sent photos in to show themselves at work in the kitchen. Congratulations - your lucky families!

Week 1 Home/School learning tasks

Your home/school learning tasks are shared in this area to begin the year. 

These activities are CAN DOS not MUST DOS

Tin Can Desk Organiser

See if you can rescue a medium-sized tin can from your home recycling to make a pencil holder to keep your every day belongings in so that it can be moved from one space to another. Your pencil case can stay in your tote tray to hold less used things such as highlighters, vivids and colouring pencils

Have a look at some of these images or search google images yourselves:

Classroom Cushions

Here's your chance to make R12 look like a cosy, comfortable learning space.

1. Are there any cushions that aren't being used at home that would brighten up our classroom?
2. Do you have a clever family member who would like to help you make you your very own special cushion?
3. Do you have any spare pillows that you can cover with a bright pillowcase that isn't being used?
