Mmmmm roti bread

Yesterday we had a crack at making roti bread. All we used was flour and water. At first it was really sticky and was really hard to get off our fingers. We added more flour and then started to knead it. After about 15 minutes of resting time we put it into a pan and cooked it for 20 seconds on each side. Our first one was really doughy in the middle so we decided to roll it as thin as we could and it came out much better.

4 X Champions!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Congratulations to the slammers basketball team who for the forth year in a row won their grade. 

The final was very close against Terrace End 18-16. They put up a great challenge! Can't wait to meet them again next year.

We were given 10 minutes to draft our beginnings. The examples below are unedited and exactly what we have come up with. examples are a range of writing levels.

Making right choices

Over the last few weeks the Kahikatea team have been participating in the DARE programme with  Constable Emily. This programme is great as it gets the children to look at themselves and their actions and hopefully gets them thinking about things in different ways. Our last two sessions has had us looking at making right choices and that sometimes the best choice isn't always the easiest. Constable Emily has been giving us strategies to get us out of tricky situations.
Below is a few clips of some skits we did today.
