Hot Cross Bun Happiness!

Cooking and Gardening

Room 21

Room 21 had a fabulous time in the kitchen today!  With Easter coming up, what better treat could we make than HOT CROSS BUNS!!!

Coralie was checking out the hot cross buns while they were baking in the oven.  They smelt delicious!

After we had baked them and glazed them, it was time for the taste test!  Naera did a pretty good job of marking the crosses on the top of each bun.

We loved the hot cross buns!  Easy to make and very tasty to eat!

Maybe you could try making some at home over the Easter break?

Matua Waata came to our classroom on Friday to take our first Maori language lesson.  We sang some waiata, learnt how to greet each other and played some games.

Nga Tai

Matua Waata called our a body part and we had to put that body part on a colour in the classroom.  For example Turi on Ma - knee on something white...
