BBM Mindfulness with Whaea Leah

Today, during Mindfulness with Whaea Leah we had to work together as a TEAM to get our team members across the river and back again. We had to do it safely.

It was a bit tricky because we had to figure out the best order for us to get our team over. But it was also LOTS and LOTS of FUN!

Samoan Language Week - Panipopo

Today we learnt about a Samoan dessert - PANIPOPO (Coconut Buns)

We watched a video from Coconet tv to help us cook. 

To save time, Mrs Faalili made the dough at home. When it was time to make our pani popo the dough had doubled in size! 

We each worked in groups of 3 to make a tray of panipopo. We got to punch the flour, flatten it, roll it and then cut into pieces. Once it was cut, we put them in our tray. 

For the juice, we used coconut cream, water and sugar. We mixed it together and then poured it over our buns. We saved some so that we could put some on the buns while they were cooking. 

The end product was DELICIOUS! SWEET! JUICY! 

  

First Music Session

Today we had our first music session with our teacher. We were learning about musical terms. Our first task was to find all the letters around the classroom, some were hidden and others weren't. Once we found them all we had to unscramble the letters and figure out what the words were. Some of the words were hard, especially OSTINATO.

We were taught a song to help us learn what the different words mean. Today's words are

Here is a song that we learnt today about what these words mean 

Kiwican

Today in Kiwican, we were learning about how and why it's important to be reliable. We discussed ways on how to be reliable at school and at home.

Our theme at the moment is:

We played MINEFIELD. A minefield was created using cones, balls and various items. The aim of the game was to get the team through the minefield while everyone's eyes were closed except the leader. It was really hard but lots of fun.
