Redhill School Cross Country 2019

We had a great day dressing up. Some people from Tui Wātea dressed in red just because it was there (We did not make them!) Pohutukawa received extra house points for their dressing up on the day.

The M&M's nearly melted with the warmer weather.

What Inspires You? - Music

We have used a couple of different resources to help learn these notes. We even learnt rhymes from the olden days used for skipping. Which the children then tried out - Tinker, Tailor...

We fingered the notes with the recorder on our chin a couple of times before we tried to play it. It was tricky trying ot read the notes, it really is another language.

Information Report - Food Groups

North Counties - Futsal Competition

Healthy Lunches

After visiting the supermarket and discussing what is good for us to eat, where we had to look a the sides of the packets we looked at these charts.

Food For Thought - Day 2

Today we looked at the Ingredients  and the Nutrition information on a packet.
Less ingredients is healthier, the more in the packet the more processed it is.
Top three ingredients have the highest content in the packet. E.g. Raro sugar is the first so a packet of Raro is mostly sugar.

Look for average per 100g
A serving size can vary, so not not always the best option to compare.


Fruit is healthy because of the fibre, when you squeeze it you lose the fibre, so less healthy because still has sugar and no fibre that helps our body to process the sugar.

5 teaspoons of sugar is all the sugar we should have, this affects our teeth.

Some drinks have caffeine, as it makes our heart pumps and keeps us awake. Caffeine also stops the calcium's work to strengthen our bones and protect our teeth enamel.

Food for Thought - Types of Food we Should Eat

Can't wait to find out more tomorrow!

What Inspires You? - Marbled Milk

As part of the Kitchen Chemistry we did more experiments - This one was called Marbled Milk the students were fascinated how the colours didn't mix together like they would in a milkshake.

Supporting Principals

To help support our Principal we dress in different shades of green to let her know we thinks she does a wonderful job and we appreciate all the time she puts into making our school the best!

What Inspires You? - Percussion Instruments

Today we take a look at how Music can Inspire us

The lady who was the wind kept teasing Nick and Whetu and it made me laugh - Janaya
I liked how Whetu only spoke Maori and couldn't speak any other language because Nick was the first person she had meet from another country. - Demitrious



The way they used the lights to create the changing background was fascinating. - Dan
I like when Nick created his own wind and the Tawhiri-Rangi moaned I am the only one allowed to make wind.! - Danielle

The stage was set in a way they could use it for many scenes. - Moala
