What is all the fuss about?

Marmite supplies are on a knife edge, with lovers of the spread being urged to ration their use as supermarkets run low on stock.
Manufacturing of the popular breakfast spread has been halted by earthquake damage to Sanitarium's Christchurch plant - the only plant where Marmite is made.

Sanitarium is urging consumers not to "freak out" as it works to relocate its Marmite manufacturing facilities to a safer part of the Christchurch site. But it is asking consumers to ration their Marmite use while supplies are spread thin.

After going to visit the storyteller, Rm 12 came back to school and drew pictures of the monster that was in the story about the judge.  We made connections with the story to visualise the monster, this helped us create our picture on paper.

Yesterday we had Discovery Time and our topic was Easter. The workshops we could work in were decorating eggs with crayon/dye, easter baskets, easter cards and the easter "gem" hunt.  I wanted to decorate eggs so I decorated 2 eggs.  We drew patterns on them with crayon and then soaked the eggs in dye, the red dye worked well.  The eggs were hard boiled which made the decorating alot easier.  The people who chose the easter gem hunt drew maps.  Then Mrs Rolton gave them 3 gems a piece of fruit, carrots from our garden and a chocolate egg or rabbit.  The easter eggs looked yum.  I just can't wait to do it again!
