Musical talents

We were entertained by an outstanding Kapa Haka group from Nelson Central school last week, then Jack played us a flawless tune on his violin. It is great to be inspired by these musical students.

Tongan week

We are making a Tapa cloth wall hanging and have been using Tongan greetings each morning this week. Kasaea read us a book in Tongan which we illustrated. We also enjoyed watching a lovely performance by Kasaea and her family. Kasaea danced so well .
 

Kimi's award

Kimi was awarded the School Spirit award from Summit today.

Science experiments

Most groups have completed their Science experiments and written them up using scientific language. These are on display in our classroom now. Here are some examples.

Science demonstration by Hamish.

The head of Science at Nayland College demonstrated some easy, hands on experiments. Several students in our class have already tried some at home. Lincoln has made a fidget spinner, Amelia has tried the "egg drop" and Lachlan made a catapult with sticks and marshmallows!
We have written Hamish many lovely letters to thanks him and tell him about these follow up activities.
