Thank you!

Thanks for reading our blogs over the last few months.

Our school has been closed down and all of us kids are back at mainstream schools again.

We loved the time we had at Waimokoia. We're glad for the friends we made, and the ways that each of us learnt to make good choices about our behaviour. We will make it through!

If you'd like to keep in contact, then you can email Sarah (blanaenae@gmail.com) ... it'd be cool to stay in touch!

With love,
us X X X X X X X

My day as A farmer (1850's)

Cockadoodoodle-doo!
Oh...there goes my alarm...time to get up.
I go outside to feed the animals.
First I feed the sheep and next it’s the pig and the cow and the chooks.
Yesterday I dug the soil in the paddock so today I must plant some veggies.
I want to grow some potatoes and carrots and tomatoes.
After I finish work my wife cooks my food. I go to sleep in my hut.

Our community is changing

Howick Historical Village showed us what life was like here in our community 150 years ago. Life has changed a lot from those tent days, when we all made our own butter, and had chooks running around. Check out the technology counter above. What will life be like in another 150 years? What about in only 5 years time?

Communities constantly change. Is ours getting better or worse? What are YOUR thoughts?

How to make butter in the olden days

Making butter is cool because its is nice to eat and you use it for cooking.

You will need:
* 250ml cream
* butter churn
* salt
* water

Steps:
1 First you put cream in the butter churn.
2 Then spin the top of the butter churn to mix it.
3 Tip the buttermilk out of the churn.
4 Put fresh water in the churn to clean the butter.
5 Tip out the water then it’s done.
