Healthy Lunches

This week we all entered the healthy lunch competition. We photographed our lunches and then wrote about what was healthy and why, and also what we might substitute for less healthy choices. It was very interesting the many misconceptions that the children had about various foods. This is something that maybe you could talk with your children about at home. Here are our various lunches....some really great ideas for tasty, energy filled foods. CONGRATULATIONS WILLEM FOR YOUR GREAT WRITING AND THIRD PLACE IN THE COMPETITION. Lunches on PhotoPeach

Well done to those people in Room 4 who gave it everything on Friday. Congratulations Tae'O for your excellent effort.

RE this week

This week we have been learning about the ascension of Jesus. We watched a short video and make books marks of scripture to remind us of what Jesus said.

"I am with you always to the end of the age"

Can you create the ultimate healthy lunch?

The Health Promoting Team is running a competition to see who can create a really tasty, healthy lunchbox.  This competition is open to all Middle and Senior school students.  You will need to take a photo of your lunch, and write a paragraph to explain why you have chosen to include those items.

Send your photo and explanation to Mrs Todd at 

sherylt@stmarysrotorua.school.nz

Closing date – 28 May 2015

The winner in the Middle and Senior school will each win a healthy lunch provided by the school.

Good luck!!

WE ARE STILL SHORT OF PARENT HELPERS FOR THIS FRIDAYS CROSS COUNTRY. 

CAN YOU HELP?

Maths Work this week for the squares

We are working on multiplication and division in class. Some groups are working on one digit by two digit multiplication. Some groups are working on place value multiplication and this group is working on using repeated addition to multiply. We use collaborative boards to work together and to explain how we have calculated a problem.
