Miss Donald.

Today, Lynda Keith visited to help us learn problem solving and enquiry skills.

We had to help solve problems in groups, through play activities. We had to use a lot of communication and self management skills too.

It was a little tricky but it was so much fun!

 

Today we visited the kitchen and made Fairtrade rice crispie cakes as part of Fairtrade fortnight.
We are learning how to read and write instructions and we did brilliantly at following the recipe. We had a great time making them. Tomorrow we will enjoy eating them!
