Healthy Eating with Whaea Gina

Today Whaea Gina taught us about how much fat was in each different type of take away food.

The healthiest take away's are sushi, subway, chicken and salad and kebab's. The next healthiest are butter chicken and pizza.

I like sushi, it doesn't have much fat.

Our play dough recipe is "fail-safe" and can last up to a year if kept in an air tight container. We need to thank our local kindergarten (Paihia/Waitangi) for the recipe. We hope you make some and have fun at home.

Ingredients:

• 6 cups of flour
• 3 cups of salt
• 1/2 cup of cooking oil
• The lid of a small container of cream of tartar
• Food colouring
• 6 to 7 cups of boiling water

Method:

Mix dry stuff. Mix wet stuff (dissolve and stir food colouring in boiling water). Add wet mixture (carefully because it's hot) to dry mixture. Have fun mixing the warm play dough with fingers to make sure all flour is dissolved. Cool, and store in an air tight container.

Reading/Creating

Grandma's Vase

Aria, Litia and Jayden read the book "Grandma's vase". It is about a Grandma and her granddaughter making a vase using an empty can.  We made vases after we read our book.

ART (painting fruit)

Because we are learning about healthy eating, we painted fruit when it was cut in half. We looked at the patterns and colours we saw.

Creating (making play dough)

We have decided we need to have play dough again in Te Awa. Last time we had play dough it kept falling onto our carpet.  So this time Miss Simmonds is going to get some lino or a mat to go under our play dough table (any donations of old lino or mats would be greatly appreciated).
We will use our play dough to "create". It will help us learn to recognise and write words.
