Tuturu Tangata with Whaea Nat

We have Tuturu Tangata with Whaea Nat every Thursday. Whaea Nat is teaching us about healthy eating, food groups and being fit! Today we made smoothies and bliss balls. 

Some of the students weren't sure about the spinach in the smoothies but overall they thought they were delicious. The bliss balls were a healthy treat, made with dried fruit, oats, peanut butter and rolled in coconut. 

It was great to use our outdoor classroom and we appreciate being able to cook with the help of Whaea Nat and Whaea Reyna.

Ka Pai Kai with Whaea Anna

Today Whaea Anna from Te Hiku Hauora visited our classroom to introduce the students to a healthy eating program that we will be taking part in called Ka Pai Kai!

This is a program aimed at enabling students to plan, prepare and cook healthy meals for their families. 

Each week a group will take their turn to prepare and cook a healthy meal for the class which we are ALL looking forward to. Our groups will be making spaghetti bolognaise, berry smoothies, nachos, pizza and pancakes. The kids were very surprised that these dishes could be healthy which was an excellent light bulb moment for them.

We are really looking forward to getting started next week!
