📚📚📚 BOOK WEEK 📚📚📚

Book week 2019 is here!
We have lots of exciting things happening at school each day. There are book swaps on Monday and Tuesday morning and the library will be open before school on Wednesday and Thursday morning. Each lunchtime there are teachers reading cool stories in the library and you can make bookmarks in the library during first break too. Be sure to visit the library during a break time in book week! We have Anne Kayes, author of The Tui Street Tales, visiting us on Tuesday and every day we will have a surprise 'stop-drop-and -read' time. Room 16 also have the challenge of reading 50 books (or 50 chapters) in one week - you can do it!
Finally, on Friday,  we have a special day to dress up as a character from a book for a parade and assembly. Which book character will you dress up as?
Check out our school library blog too to see all the exciting things that are happening.

Garden to Table - the food

After working in the garden or the kitchen the best part is sharing a meal together. It tastes great after we have all helped to prepare the meal! Each week we get to try some new foods from a variety of cultures. It is always good to try something you haven't tried before and is a special time together. Here a a few shots of some of the delicious food. Remember, all the recipes are available on the garden to table blog. Yum!

Garden to Table - the kitchen

It's so cool to help prepare a delicious meal using fresh produce harvested from our gardens. Here are some of us helping out in the kitchen.

Garden to Table - the garden

We are lucky to have Garden to Table this term. It is definitely one of our favourite things at Owairaka! Each Wednesday we take turns working and learning in the gardens or in the kitchen. It is great to plant and harvest fresh produce, prepare some yummy food, and share it together. Here are some of us at work in the gardens.
