Food for Thought Shared Lunch
Recently Room 11 and the Year 6 students from Room 12 and 13 have been learning about healthy eating and healthy food choices through a programme called ‘Food for Thought’.
On Thursday the students will conclude their learning by making a healthy lunch to share. So if your child is in this group then can you please send to school with your child their morning tea and a light lunch, just in case they don't like the options that the students have planned. The food for this shared lunch has been provided by ‘Food for Thought’ and New World.
If you are available to help prepare the food please send a message to Mrs Harnden or Mrs MacGregor.
We will start to prepare the food at 10:40 ready for the students to eat at 12:00.
If you have any questions please ask.
Thank you.

Kids soak up clean water message
Enviro Schools Facilitator, Esther Dijkstra ran The Wetlands Project, a day of activity for primary school children, at the Events Centre on July 8. In morning workshops the children experimented with the effects of pollution on streams and stream life. They played games identifying plants and birds and competed in teams to make a kite from natural materials in thirty minutes. In the afternoon they visited a wetland area to plant trees. “Unfortunately for us the rain dumped water on us,” Esther said. “We managed to plant one tree.” Esther, a self-employed soil scientist, has worked with schools in the Wairarapa for the past eight years to help children understand more about water quality and what people can do to help clean it up. As well she works with the Carterton District Council monitoring the progress of land currently irrigated with treated waste water. She’s also involved with the Ruamahanga Whaitua community group set up to negotiate with communities on the future management of land and water in the Ruamahanga catchment. These decisions feed into the Wellington Regional Council’s natural resources plan. Esther’s university education in her homeland, the Netherlands, and that country’s experience of pollution prepared her well for her work in New Zealand. “A lot of issues we had in the 80s and 90s in the Netherlands are surfacing in New Zealand now.” Rivers full of dumped chemical waste flow from other countries into the Netherlands, she said. “New Zealand is wiser in that respect and problems are more easily controllable.” “I enjoy working with children. They are very receptive. They soak it all up. We want to empower them. We work with them to come up with an idea and then work with the idea and turn it into action. Jan Farr

Olympic Reading and Fitness Challenge
For the past 2 weeks and up until the 31st August Room 13 students are doing a 'reading and fitness challenge' to earn gold, silver and bronze medals. We have been working on this in class time but we are now extending it to include fitness and reading at home. Here is how it works: For every 100 pages read and 20 minutes fitness complete they earn an Olympic mascot. Two Olympic mascots gain one medal. So the more reading and fitness completed the more chance there is to reach a gold medal. You can earn more than one set of medals. So keep reading Room 13 students. This challenge ends on the 31st August for our medal ceremony.
