School Gala!

Last Sunday was the Nelson Central School Gala. What a lot of fun everyone had! We opened the gala singing three of our favourite songs, Te Aroha, Bad Hair Day and The 3 R's. There was plenty of food and entertainment to suit everyone's tastes. Of course our favourite was the milkshake stand!

Getting ready to sing.

The milkshake ladies!

Two little rays of sunshine!

Tony's dad cooked some delicious food ...with the help of Tony of course!

Te Reo

Each Monday afternoon Whaea Lesley comes to teach us Te Reo. We have been learning how to greet eachother, ask how someone is and to follow basic instructions. We have also learned new songs with actions. Whaea Lesley is asking for someone to put the pillow back. I can see Humphrey was putting his hand up to do the job too! Tino pai Humphrey!

Buddy Time!

Every Friday afternoon we get together with our buddy class Room 3. We look forward to this from Monday morning!
We each have a big buddy. We think it is cool fun because it means we have some 'big' friends at school too. They sometimes play with us at morning tea and lunch time.
Last week they were helping us with our skipping techniques as well as creating some beautiful art work.

Super job!

I think they were very impressed with what we could do!

Some friends decided to do art work instead.

Keeping Ourselves Safe

We have started Term 4 off with the topic 'Keeping Ourselves Safe'. We have been lucky enough to have Constable John come in for some lessons to help us out.
We have been talking about times we feel safe and unsafe and how we react. We also took our camera outside to locate 'hazards around Renwick House'. Watch out for these photo's!
Today we acted out some scenario's with Neroli. She pretended to be a stranger asking us to help her look for her lost dog with a bag of lollies. We got to use our very loud assertive voice to say 'NO! I DON"T WANT TO".

Check out our Slide Show!

This is a slide show of how we made ginger beer. The best part was at the end when Neroli had a 'ginger beer shower'! Luckily there was some left over for us to drink.

Mask Parade

On Friday the 12th of October the children from Nelson Central School are going to be in the Mask Parade.
We are currently very busy getting our masks ready. The Kowhai Syndicate are going to be 'Tui's'. Thank you to all the parents who have given up their time to come and help us.

The parents worked very hard cutting, stapling and measuring our helmets for the masks.

Iron Brion Comes to Nelson Central School!

Last week Iron Brion came to visit us at school to teach us all about the four main food groups. They are meat and meat alternatives, fruit and vegetables, bread and cereals and dairy products. It was a terrific show with lots of games and laughter. Some children won prizes. At the end of the show we all got a free hamburger which the parents had prepared for us. They were yummy!

There was a groovy dance competition!

Here are the helpful parents who made our hamburgers. Thanks so much!

Yummy in our tummy!
