BYO Supper and drinks.
On the 25th of August we made pizzas in class as we had
earned enough points for our awesome behaviour in
class. Our reward was to make pizzas!
First we made the pizza dough by mixing the yeast, flour,
sugar and warm milk. When the dough had doubled in size
we 'knocked it back' and then placed our yummy toppings
on top. Some of us even made stuffed crusts! We baked
them in a hot oven and then we ate them for lunch! Way to
go Room 5! By Dana
Ollie & Wolfgang take the pizza making seriously
ART CLASSES DURING SCHOOL HOLIDAYS
One of our parents, Lee, is hoping to run art classes throughout the school
holidays. There is potential for a morning and afternoon programme to run,
with up to 10 children per class. The cost will be $35 for two hours and the
children will come home with a small finished canvas for parents to hang.
Please phone or email Lee as soon as possible if you may be interested so we
can gauge the popularity of this idea. lee@amore.co.nz 0204 073 8948

day? Please arrive in time for lunch with approximately 24
muffins, slices or cake. Please try to be here to serve your
delicious cakes, however if this is impossible your child should
help to serve. If you think your child is too young please let us
know and we will arrange a senior student to help. Please
arrive by 12.30pm, set up the big table in the hall. As students
line up (little ones first), serve. Wipe the table and clean up.
