Enjoy your holidays, keep safe and we will see you all next term!! 

 

Fiafia Night

Last night was our very popular Fiafia Night. Once again we had a fabulous turn out by all whanau to support a night where CPS showcase our many cultures and talent.

Room 13, Room 14 and Room 1 combined together to perform our world famous CPS song and a waiata action song.

I hope you were able to join us and support us in a very enjoyable evening of dance, song and food.

• Yesterday we went to school. At school there was a Fiafia Night and lots of balloons. Our families came and our cousins came too. They had a performance. The first was Room 1, 14 and 13. We did a CPS song. I was wearing a nice dress. I felt happy.        - Angel

• Last night at Fiafia Night I thought wearing a long skirt would make me nervous but it didn't. No one laughed but I did. I tried to look at my family when I already knew I couldn't see my family at all. Even though my family didn't give me at least $1, I was still proud of myself that I was there and that my family was there.    - Mylene

R13's Broadway Performance

Room 13 gave a performance of Chicken Licken at junior school assembly. We had the wonderful support of parents who came to support their child's acting debut.

I will upload the video of our performance very, very soon.

Scrumptious learning

Last Friday, Room 13 had a scrumptious lesson on scone making.  We shared our baking with the teachers.  Our scones had strawberry jam and cream on them. We learnt to:

• Measurement - measuring our ingredients using cups, spoons and teaspoons
• Hygiene - cleaning our hands, utensils, and what happens if we need to sneeze or cough when cooking
• Temperature - what temperature does the oven need to be
• Food Technology - does our scone taste better on its own, with jam, with cream or both?

Enjoy our wonderful photos:

Feedback from teachers:

Awesome, thanks heaps for the scone. I love it. - Miss Magaoa, R7

Thanks again.   - Miss Sian, R11

• One day we made scones and it tasted like strawberries and honey. The cream and the jam tasted like strawberries and lemon.  We needed ingredients: flour and water and a spoon and a cup. We gave some to the junior teachers. We ate it too and we went home and slept.    - Kilifi
