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!

Making Ginger Beer

Last week we tried two different recipes for making our ginger beer. One of the recipes required a 'bug' (with no legs!). We had to strain the 'bug' through a piece of muslin cloth. Some children thought the bug smelt like bread while others thought the 'bug' might have had a tummy bug!
