    Kia ora 7C2,

    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.


    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

    Music Playlist - Create a music playlist that will set the mood for your celebration!
