To be in the Step Team, Tongariro Waka we must show kindness, show respect and do our best. That way we all all paddle in the same direction.

Check out Brigid's different way of eating a Cadbury's Creme Egg. You might need someone to help you too if you try it with chop sticks! That is a very slippery little egg!

Beach Ed Trip - Max & William
The crashing waves at Waimari Beach thundered, crashed and drenched us.
Our sandcastles were skyscrapers touching the floating clouds.
Stinging blue jellyfish waited quietly in the sand ready to sting like a knife.
Children in a line fighting the waves to 'high-five' parents.
We really enjoyed our beach trip.

Extreme Reading - Charlotte
Charlotte must have been very busy over the weekend. It looks like she has flown to Africa to do her extreme reading!
Home Learning: Sjaak's Giant Cake
On Sunday I made an awesome cake! It was three layers high! I made it because I like cake and Ive
never made a three layer high cake. I also wanted the cake to eat my class....I mean the class to eat my
cake.
I learnt how to crack eggs properly, how to cut the cake into shapes and how to sprinkle the chocolate hail and 100s and 1000s. I also learnt that it was harder to ice cake that had been cut. The problems I had were running out of cocoa for the icing and the icing was hard to spread
because it was too thick (but it actually tasted really nice).
My favourite part was testing to see if the cake was ready because it wasnt ready and the knife came out gooey and yummy.
The ingredients in my cake were: self raising flour
cocoa
butter
vanilla essence sugar
eggs
water.
Some people may not be able to eat my cake (which is a bit annoying for them) so I thought I could give them a candy cane instead.
