Making Choices - Nutrition

We had a visitor in our school last week called Reta. She is a nutritionist and also a NZ Commonwealth Games cyclist! Reta came to school to teach us how to identify everyday foods and occasional foods, and she also taught us about all the things in food that keep us strong and healthy (like fibre). Lauren and Julieanne were so impressed with how quickly the Turama students learnt and how well they could remember the information (young brains are amazing). Here are a few photos from the class lessons and lesson at the supermarket. Thanks Reta - you are an awesome teacher! Thanks also to the super parents who came with us to the supermarket! You were all so encouraging and patient.

Art with Fleur

Every Monday we start the week with having art with Fleur! What a fantastic way to start the week! Fleur has been teaching the students in Turama all about the primary colours and how to mix secondary colours with paint. This week they have been making collage pictures. THANKS FLEUR! WE LOVE YOUR LESSONS!

Spelling test Fridays

Every Friday the Turama students test each other on their spelling that they have been practising for home learning and they do such a great job! 

Skyping Brooke

It was so awesome talking to Brooke and her mum Clare on Skype yesterday! Most of the Turama students got to have a chat and share some of the things they have been up to. We miss you Brooke!!

Basketball with a GIANT

We had basketball with Nick from the Giants yesterday! He is so TALL!!!!!! Thanks Nick for an awesome session. We had heaps of fun!
