End of term food fun

Today we made pizzas to eat. The students were very well organised and brought their toppings then used the school pizza ovens to cook their pizzas.



Una and Nathaniel had the responsibility of cooking the sausages for the school this week. Looks like fun. Thanks Viv for allowing R4 students to help cook the sausages each week.

The feedback is specific so it tells the other student exactly what was good or what needs to be worked on.

Tino pai rawa atu Callum.
