Last Post

This will be the last post from Room 3 as next year room 3 at St Anne's will not exist.
Due to a loss of children from the earthquake our school has lost one classroom and it's teacher. So next year Mrs Grant will not be at St Anne's and the classroom will be empty.



It has been a privilege to work with the community and children at St Anne's. I have enjoyed teaching the  children and trying to help them along their learning journey. Good luck to you all
Mrs Grant

The Finished Product

We wrapped the truffles up in cellophane and wrote the ingredients on them so people know what they are made of.
Then Room 3 and Room 5 walked down to Brookhaven Home.

It was great to be able to give something to the people in our community.

Truffle making

Our class has been looking at production and processing of sweets. We decided to make truffles for the elderly at Brookhaven Rest Home.
Chrystal, Charlie and Wyatt melted the butter in a cup in the microwave. It was really hot so they had to be careful.
Roan and Paige crushed the wine biscuits. It was a bit hard to do so Rob had to help a bit.
Evie, Harley, Letone and Mary Jane got to mix all of the ingredients together.They felt all squishy.

Railynnetta, Alecxis and Asa had to roll the mixture in to little balls and put them on the tray. Asa had chocolate drips under his hands. It got slow when Asa and Alexcis were doing the job by themselves but Railynnetta was quality controller and when she helped the rolling started to get faster.Finn and Kian were still chopping up the fruit in the food processor behind them.



Tayjuan rolled the balls in coconut and Madeline made sure they were well covered.
 

Elisah made sure that all of the christmas truffles were spaced out on the tray before they went to the fridge to harden.

Meadowfresh Stickers

Harley in our class collected all of the stickers from the milk and he sent them away. On Monday he received a box back from Meadowfresh and it had lots of sports gear in it.
Thanks a lot Harley.
