HURRICANES VISIT
We were lucky to be involved with the blessing and launch of the Community Maara. Nei re ki a koe Debbie Kelly for the opportunity to participate and contribute to this. Some of our tamariki, who have been involved with Enviroschools were given the chance to work alongside the Hurricanes both at the new community maara and the maara at kura. Thanks also to He Puawai Trust and everyone else who was involved in coordinating this day.
There is a wonderful write up in The Post about this initiative. https://www.thepost.co.nz/nz-news/350124754/brad-shields-digs-deep-stokes-valley-foodbank

Cooking up a storm in Kids Kitchen
We are grateful to have Whaea Debbie coming in on Wednesday mornings to do some cooking with our Year 6 tamariki. This is a great experience for them and they are making some really tasty food. I can personally vouch for this.
If you would like to join Deb for a cooking session, she will be based in our Kids Kitchen every Wednesday morning from 9.00am.
If you would like to make this dish at home the recipe has been attached to the newsletter and available below.
This week they are making 'CRISPY BAKED HOMEMADE TORTILLA CHIPS'
