¨Hello Kea kids, today you are going to partner up with Takahe kids today and experience great activities.¨ Mrs Venkat said as she turned to the board, the board had options of choices with activities we could do. ¨Some of you guys will stay here in the old library and some will come with me into the kitchen. There are activities to do, word search, colouring in the gem stars and chalk. There is a paper with all the Matariki stars written on it and you have to draw the Matariki stars with chalk outside.¨ We also talked about Tuakana-Teina which means when a young person and an older person come together.
Half of the Kea and Takahe kids split off and went to the kitchen. I stayed in the old library with Whaea Ocea. We had to choose our buddies but there were no kids left so I went with Antonia and her buddy Siva. We went to do the word search first. After we went to colour in the star gems, there were heaps of options of stars and I chose one and started colouring. I put some gems and glitter on it to make it decorated then I went to go help Siva to finish off her star.
After that it was our turn to go to the kitchen. While Siva was drawing the Matariki stars me and Antonia went inside to make rosemary butter.
The equipment we used was:
Spoon
Jar
Our ingredients were:
Cream ½
Pinch of salt
Rosemary
We first poured cream into the jar halfway. Secondly, we put a little salt inside the jar. Then we put a little rosemary inside the jar. Lastly we had to shake the jar until its shaped into butter. After it was finally shaped, Mrs Venkat spread it onto the bread. We all had a chance to taste and it was amazing because the texture of the bread was great.
Overall, it was fun and exciting and my favourite part was when we had to shake the jar to make butter!
