News Time

This term we have 'Buzz Groups' for news. We are in groups of 4-5 children. One person is the leader and it is their job to report back to the class all the news in our group. We have a different leader each day. It means you have to listen very carefully!

Renwick 3 Hit the Dance Floor!

Yesterday we had our annual folk dancing display for our parents, whanau and friends. Here we are getting ready to 'rumble' to the Jiffy Mixer.
We had such a super time performing our dances and by looking at the smiles on our families faces we suspect they loved it to!

Discovering Nelson

Last week as part of our inquiry learning we went to explore inside The Cathedral. We found it was very quiet, had beautiful windows and was very old. Lots of people use the Cathedral for different reasons, such as, admiring the building, looking at the windows, a quiet place to come and sit or pray and to listen to beautiful singing and music. We think the Cathedral is special to our community!

Unpicking The Past

Last Friday we were lucky enough to have another trip to the museum. We were looking at the sorts of clothes people wore in the past, how they were made, mended and recycled!
I wonder if you can recognise any of these 'early settlers' of Nelson?

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!
