Making jelly at home!

Finau and Catherine got busy and their whole family made jelly. Finau said "It was super fun and simple". You just buy a box that has jelly in it and mix hot water with it. Then stir and put it in the fridge so it can set for a few hours. Catherine had a great time and she really liked the blue jelly which was blueberry. They also made some lime jelly.

Home learning about birds.

Finau and Catherine have done some homework. It was about birds and Catherine read the story about the birds and she added eggs together to make it add up to 10 (she did not really get real eggs, it was just her homework). She also had to write the word owl and coat.

I wanted to win the easter hunt but my little brother Keni and I came second place, (its better than coming last like my sister Finau).
