Jarrod From The Nelson Giants

The Nelson Giants came back to visit us again. This time Jarrod taught us some new skills like how to dribble a basketball.

Soccer Skills with George

George from Nelson Soccer has been coming in on Fridays to teach us some soccer skills. Today we were able to practise all of these skills in a game.

Thanks George, we have loved our sessions with you!

A Champion Adventure Racer!

We had Jake from Team Motueka visit us today. Jake's team were in The GODZone race and we have been checking the team's progress every day. It has been exciting watching their team jersey move around the course on the tracking page on our computer.

They came in 8th in their race and even beat Richie McCaw's team! We think they are super fit, super fast and super brave to have kayaked, run, biked and rafted for 4 1/2 days throughout the day and night with only about 8 hours sleep. Congratulations Team Motueka, we think you are awesome!

Buddy Reading

We have whole school Buddy Reading every Thursday. We love having our older friends read to us and then been able to share our reading with them.

Flutterby Butterfly

Rose noticed our butterfly was climbing up the wall. It started to slip on the picture so Helga put her hand out for the butterfly to climb onto. We followed Helga outside as she carefully placed the butterfly on a tree. During morning tea the butterfly flew away under the watchful eyes of Seth and Leon. Bye, bye, butterfly......

Butterfly Magic

Look what we spotted as we came into our class this morning. A beautiful butterfly emerging from a chrysalis........

Nick the Nelson Giant

Nick from the Nelson Giants came out today to teach us some ball skills. He was so tall, we know now why his team is called The Giants.

He was so much fun. We can't wait until he comes back. Three cheers for Nick....hip, hip hooray.....!!!
