The focus sound of the week in Harakeke was 'b'. We did a range of things focusing on this sound including a trip to the beach. The intention was to go in search of mauri for our class - but Tawhirimātea and Tangaroa had different ideas!
We stood on top of a bank of stones as Tawhirimātea whipped around us with Tangaroa racing up the bank to tickle our toes! 
Loads of wild stone throwing and excitement!
Then playing in billions of beautiful bubbles!!
Followed up by a bit of butter making at the end of the week.
We have been very concerned by hearing from some tamariki that cream comes from a can! We had a great discussion about where cream comes from - before pouring some out into a bowl. Then began beating with a good old-fashioned 'egg-beater'. Bit of co-ordination needed there e te whānau! Looks of wriggly fun!
Lots of kōrero, lots of taking turns, lots of manaakitanga.
It took a long time... but we began to see some changes...
Then a change in colour and the curds separating from the whey - BUTTER!!!!
Of course we couldn't waste it!
