Welcome to the second to last week of the year.

You are planning a christmas party for our class - remember the Matariki Party challenge,  this is similar. Get a booklet from the packet with your teacher and return it at the end of each session.


Session 1
Weekly Quiz - mark with your teacher
Begin the Christmas Party Challenge.

• Brainstorm your meal items. Think about what you have for christmas with your whanau and base your party around your traditions and foods from home.
• Brainstorm possibilities for each of the categories - starters, mains and dessert. You could add family favourites, ideas from recipe books or websites and popular ‘crowd-pleasers’. Aim for at least four ideas for each meal category.
• You now need to decide on your final meal items from your brainstormed list. You can choose to conduct a vote or use a ranking system.
• Your budget is $200.

Session 2

• Make a list of all the ingredients required to make your starter, main meal and dessert items. Make sure you think through each
  item carefully and check any relevant recipes.
• Think about any additional items you may need in order to prepare and serve your food.
  Do you need napkins, plates or spoons?
• What about cooking oil or sauce?
  List these items also, as they will contribute towards your overall cost.
• Use the budgeting spreadsheet to work out how much money your have spent.

Session 3
