Kowhai Positive Assembly

We went to Positive Assembly in Room 5 today!
We had a positive draw and some children got a prize for getting their positive card pulled out of the box.

We even had Toolkit awards. You can see who got the certificates in Kowhai team this week.

We sang some songs and danced.

Baking scones

We visited the Cool Kids Kitchen and baked some scones. We visited the kitchen garden to collect some herbs for our scones. We think the scones were delicious. We want to do more baking. You can find the recipe that we used by clicking the link here.
