Friends in the Sandpit

In the junior playground there is a sandpit for only 5 year olds. It is a great place to make new friends!

Ella and Katrina have been busy making happy faces in the sandpit.
Eva is busy practising her balancing skills!

Our Museum Trip

Last Friday we went on an outing to the Nelson Museum to learn about some Maori Legends. We had a fabulous time. We were welcomed into the Museum as though we were going onto a Marae. Cindy called us in. This was a very special occasion.
On our walk there we stopped along the way to look at some other special places in our community.
A special thank you to the parents who were able to help us on our trip.

Here is the Nelson School of Music. This is special to many of us because we have performed on stage here.
From the Cathedral steps we could see Symon's Lamp. This was once blown apart may years ago from a combination of a gas leak and a naked flame. It has been restored to its former glory and it stands proudly on Trafalgar Street. We stopped to have our kai on the Cathedral steps. We noted that they use to be wooden steps!
At the Museum we acted out some Maori legends with a parent helping us.
Renwick 3 were a fantastic audience!

Autumn Leaves

We have been busy collecting Autumn Leaves over the last couple of weeks. We have found lots of beautiful colours. We took the camera out with us so you could enjoy what we found. We also wrote a book about our discoveries, which you can find on our bookshelf.




Our buckets were absolutely overflowing with a spectrum of Autumn colours!
