Happy Valentines Day!

Happy Valentines Day everybody!

This morning Room 12 hosted our first assembly for the year.  Room 12 were ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT!  I was very proud of them!

And the day got even more exciting!!!

Today we made a valentines day cake!  We all helped to mix the butter, sugar and eggs.  We then added flour, cocoa, baking powder and milk....can you guess what kind of cake we made?

Miss O'Neill has a snazzy little oven we can use in the classroom.  We could smell the lovely cake cooking while we did our writing!

When the cake cooled down we put pink icing on the cake and heart sprinkles.

We all had a piece, and there was lots of pieces left so we delivered them to all the other teachers at Wairakei School.  WE CARE!

Great finger spaces, Oliver!

I'm really impressed with Maddox's attitude towards his writing....he really knows how to persevere.
