5+ A Day Challenge- veggie sculpting

Our School Challenge started with some art activities this week. Look how many budding artists we have in our school and how they can create colourful sculptures full of imagination! Well done to you all:-)

 The winners with their creations:-)

Term 4, Week 2 - Empanada fiesta!

We are very lucky to have many international families to share special food with us. Many of Raumati South students tried Argentinian Empanada first time today and they were so popular..!!!

Two kinds of fillings- corn in creamy sauce and beef mince. They are oven bake and pastry is home made:-)

Beautiful lettuce and flower from the garden

Another dish was beef and veggie stir fry. An electric wok is kindly donated from a school family:-)

Term 4- week 1 "Live music!"

We had a lovely addition this week at Friday lunch time. A Ukulele group provided us a nice music after their lesson in a hall:-).

Nice to have some parents to join in!

 Here are some preparations for the "Healthy Lunch Week" in week 3

Growing "micro greens" for the sushi fillings

Keep it moist

Using different kinds of containers to compare

Term 3- Week 9 Beautiful salad & wash ups

Salad can be dressed up with few petals and leafy lettuces from our garden! Thanks to the artistic parent to create this on the plate:-). Silver beet and spinach from the garden also became yummy filo parcels which is getting popular among the students.

Term 3 - week 8 Washing up!

Hello, we've introduced a new system this week. Students can help us with rinsing their plate!! Some of them were hesitating to get their hands wet at first, and some were totally keen.  It worked really well:-).
It's nice to share the cleaning job as well as the meal.  Thanks everyone! The parent helps could go home much earlier than usual..!

Enjoying sushi with parent helps:-)

Frittata and Sushi

We can do it!

Term 3 - Winter is over (nearly) !!

Hello everyone, thanks you for all the support while the main canteen coordinator is away. The last four lunches went well and now it's time to order for the second half of this term. Please see the menu on the school website and bring the order slip to the office if you haven't ordered yet!

The last Friday we cooked "vegetable lasagna" and "beef and veggie stir fry on rice". We've served them before but not for a while. I guess people all remembered the yummy smell of the melting cheese and garlic&soy from the kitchen:-).

Thanks to Mrs. Diane again for the beautiful supply of broccoli from the school garden. It went into the both menus. (The picture was accidentally deleted unfortunately..!)
