Tuesday 22 September

A big thank you to everyone for coming to watch our folk dancing and singing performance this afternoon. The children did really well and I am so proud of them all. It was great to have you all join in the 'Side, Together, Clap' dance as well.

Thanks, too, to those who were able to stay and help with the masks. I was amazed at how quickly everything was completed. The masks are looking really good. Next painting session will be Thursday 23 Septembet at 1:45pm.

Week 9

What a busy week we have had.
Our 'Stars of the Week' are: Samuel for great writing, and Willem for great reading. Congratulations Samuel and Willem, we are proud of you.



Mask Parade:
On Tuesday a wonderful group of parents cut out our masks - thank you so much.
On Wednesday we began colouring them. Thursday was a busy day of painting. Check out the photos.
Next week we will paint the red petals and glue the pieces onto the masks. They will look great.
Today we had our first practice parading around the quad and singing the One Love, One Heart song. It was great.

When I Was Blindfolded ...

Earlier in the term we were learning about disabilities. We took turns at being blindfolded and at leading a blindfolded person. Click Play (centre arrow) OR Click on the children's headshots to read how they felt when they were blindfolded, hold on a second.....then you will hear them speak too!

Week 9

Today at our Whole School Assembly Jemma received a certificate for showing great co-operation skills. Congratulations Jemma, it's great to have you in our class showing us how to co-operate.

Ronald McDonald Visit

On Wednesday Ronald McDonald visited Nelson Central School. He lost one of his stripy red and white socks. He went to look for it and showed us how to be safe when walking along the footpath and crossing roads. Ronald's sock was stuck on his back and Marcus helped Ronald find it.
Here are some of the recounts we wrote about Ronald's visit:
