Always lots happening.

On Friday afternoon we had the chance to see the new groups set up, and ready to go for Monday. Miss Benington's class looks quite cozy in Room 14, and everyone is excited about the chance to make the most of their learning times.
Friday was a great day because we welcomed Hamish back from Japan - only for one month this time but it is lovely to have Hamish back with us.
If you had someone versed in Japanese culture and language, what is one thing you would not attempt to do in front of them? That's right - make sushi - so that is exactly what we did on Friday.

We also made smoothies, cheese scones and date scones. This was thanks to a very generous $60 voucher which was given to us by Balclutha New World when we completed the Food for Thought Programme. Many thanks, New World!

On Wednesday we had a visit from a Fonterra milk tanker, as part of the launch of our Breakfast Club. Did you know that the Stirling Cheese factory processes 1.8 million litres of milk per day?
