Kia Orana whanau and welcome to our term 4 blog.

This term has been off to a busy start so far. We have had lots of fun learning experiences here at Yendarra School such as;
     wharekai
     swimming lessons
     Fiafia practices

It is our class goal to come to school everyday and in the correct school uniform so that we can all make the most of these wonderful learning experiences.

Wharekai
We LOVE going to the wharekai and making new and exciting things, most of which are harvested from our amazing garden.

Here is a recipe of what you could make at home. Yummy!

 Swimming:
Did you know, that in 2016 there was 78 preventable drownings in New Zealand?
We are so lucky to live in a country where we are surrounded by oceans, lakes and rivers. So that we can enjoy our summer and maybe even visit the Otara Pools in the holidays, Room 11 have been learning to swim!
