During lockdown, the recipe for foam dough was on the blog. The students in the level 3 bubble at kura had fun experiencing it, so akomanga 17 tamariki had a turn making it and playing with it too.
We had a scavenger hunt on Putikitiki and Tōtara whenua. We worked together to find all the items on the list. It was fun being able to be on Te Ara o Ngahere (the nature trail) in the sun catching up with our friends after being in lockdown.
Kia ora koutou,
Here is this weeks slideshow with many activities on it.
Thanks to Catherine for some ideas this week.
Have a fabulous day. Ka kite. Whaea Kat
Kia ora koutou,
In a previous slideshow there were some slides about hauora or well-being showing some ideas how to maintain your well-being during lockdown.
Emily designed a slideshow that has challenges for you and your family to work on over the week. Check it out below.
Some of you will remember watching the students that represented Hamilton East School building fantastic structures for the EP Pro 8 school challenge.
Well, you can do this with your family this time.
Check out the EPro8 Lockdown Challenge.
You will need 1 ream of A4 paper and 1 roll of sellotape.
Have fun!
Kia ora koutou,
It's my favourite part of the week, TOIKUPU!
Look at the slideshow, create your own poem.
On the blog today I put up a post showing how to make Foam Dough using shaving cream, cornflour and food colouring.
We had so much fun. We had so many wonderings about what was happening as we were making it. We were trying to think like scientists.
I'm in bubble #2 at school so our learning looks a little bit different to what you are doing at home. We are based in rooms 8 and 9 in Kauri block. Thanks Sarah for sharing your room with Greg, Ms O'Neil, myself and the students in our bubble.
We have to use the toilets down at Totara whenua. We are allowed in the sandpit but not on the playground. We have morning tea and lunch outside on the deck.
We play on Putikitiki.

How to make foam dough
1. Measure out 5 tablespoons of shaving foam into a small container.
2. Add a few drops of food colouring to the shaving foam and mix well until you get the colour you want.
3. Slowly add the cornflour a teaspoon at a time, stirring thoroughly until the mixture starts to look slightly doughy.
Be careful not to add too much cornflour as the more cornflour you add, the drier the dough. If the dough becomes too dry it will also lose some of its foamy, puffy texture.
4. Repeat the process using another food colouring colour.
5. Have fun bending the foam dough into all sorts of shapes!
Today is a day for you to be away from more formal digital learning.
Today you will have the opportunity to learn offline and engage in a range of non-digital activities.
They might be tasks that you would like to do together with your family or alone, or it might be
something else entirely. Below are some suggestions:
Today is a day for you and your whanau to: connect, be active, notice, keep learning and give.
