Healthy drinks

In Te Ngahere we have been learning about healthy drinks. I learnt how much sugar is in a drink. There were traffic lights to show you how much sugar is in them and if you should drink them, once a month,once a week and if you should drink it. The highest was in an energy drink with 24 tsp of sugar. Scientists  say that you should only have 5 tsp a day. Now that I know scientists say that you should only have 5 tsp a day I will try to make healthy choices with my drinks.

Bess wax wraps

In Te Ngahere we have been learning about plastic and reusable things. This year we were able to make beeswax wraps. First we had to draw on a piece of fabric and it was really cool. After we did that we had to dip it into melted beeswax that Anouk brought in. I really enjoyed it and I can't wait to use it.

Ukulele

In Te Ngahere we have been learning to play the ukulele. Before we started I was very excited. When we got there Alison went through the things she wants us to do and things she does not like. She talked a lot about the ukulele parts and chords, then we finally got started. We didn't have lots of time to play the ukulele and I can’t wait for next time.
