Weaving

Today we had a story about people from Vanuatu and how the pandanus tree is so important to them. The pandanus leaves are used for weaving. We used paper to weave a small mat.

Science News

Amelia showed us what happens to coke when you add milk. There was a chemical reaction that made the coke a light brown colour.

Coconut cream

Today we learnt how to make coconut cream. It was a bit tricking opening the coconut but we all had a go at scrapping the coconut and then the cream was squeezed out.

Tapa cloth

Thank you Mrs Tofia for coming and teaching us about Tapa cloth.  It was great learning about how the tapa cloth is made and then the children made their own tapa pattern.
