Whai - Maori String Game
Ella shared her knowledge of a traditional Maori string game called 'Whai' this morning. Her mum taught her the 'Cup and Saucer' and 'Eiffel Tower', and Ella is trying to learn '4 of Diamonds', 'Butterfly', and lots of others. Some of us came up with a few of our own like 'Parachute' and 'Arrow'.

Olympic Rings Biscuits
To celebrate the Olympic Games coming to a close, we made some Olympic Rings Biscuits. We made shortbread circles to represent the rings. The five colours of the rings were made in icing by ten students - we think making red is quite tricky! After they rings were baked, we iced them and got together with four classmates to make the symbol of the Olympic Games.
Take a look at the photos of our success!

London 2012 Olympic Games
You can keep up with the number of medals we are winning at the London 2012 Olympic Games link thanks to Google.
If you click on the circle that is over each country, it tells you who won, which event, and the type of medal. So far New Zealand has won three medals, and if you click on the distribution key on the left it shows how many gold, silver, and bronze medals each country has won.
