Moanataiari Kitchen Challenge

Moanataiari Kitchen Challenge The Moanataiari Kitchen Challenge will be shared with all students at Moanataiari School in the coming weeks. It is a great chance for children to help out in the kitchen and improve and prove their skills! There is a Google Slide instructional to show how to complete each task. Then there is a task completion sheet for parents or someone at home to sign as each task is accomplished. Encourage your children to have a go, there will be eight challenges in all. Children will be able to use their skills in the school kitchen and show us their brilliance once we all return to school. We would love you to share some photos of your children working and creating in the kitchen as they progress through the tasks. It would be awesome for everyone to see what each other is doing on Moanataiari School facebook. The Challenge is on!

Eureka!" after he had stepped into a bath and noticed that the water level rose, after that he suddenly understood that the volume of water displaced must be equal to the amount of the part of his body he had submerged. After which he ran down the road naked because he was so excited and wanted to share his idea. Okay perhaps it's not that exciting but I thought about this while mowing lawns At the beginning of the year, the staff worked on developing aspects of our local curriculum. The last time we did any extensive work on this was 2009-2010. At that time we decided that our mission statement: 'Learning and growing together' was the right direction for us to take and for that time, I think it was. 'Learning and growing together' epitomises: collegiality, distribute...
