NCS Technology Expo

It was great to see how proud the children were of their work on Wednesday when the dinosaur fossil cases were able to be exhibited to the rest of the school.

Room 9 students worked really hard last term on following a technological process to create a display case for their dinosaur 'fossil'.  They began by designing their case, having agreed that it needed to be safe, strong, attractive and the right size.  Then they made their first prototype.  Once they had made their case, the children considered what needed to be modified or kept the same.  Many of them made a second prototype which was better than the first and fitted the brief well.

Bruce, from the Cawthron Institute, was there to interview a few of our budding technologists and the feedback he gave was the children were very articulate when talking about their projects.

Well done, Room 9.  Outstanding work.

Well done to all the Room 9 students for being physically active in the cross country training and celebrating with the final run at the whole school wide cross country race.

We are active members of this school - Ka Pai!!

Goodbye but not forever!!

We had a slightly sad end to our term when Room 9 said cheerio to two of our students as they go off for 6 months.

Rosa and her family will be back next year after they enjoy a winter in Queenstown, and Aynsley will return well travelled following her family's adventures around the world.

Thank you for being such wonderful role models and friends to the other children in Room 9.  Please keep in touch and we'll look forward to seeing you both back at Nelson Central School next year.

Keep an eye out for posts from Aynsley by clicking on to the tab at the top of our Blog.

End of term fun

What a fun week we had to finish off the term.  A class party with a delicious shared lunch, followed by a movie and pop corn.


On the last day of term there were play performances from our tamariki.  Then, we were treated to face painting by the very talented Meredith from Face Painting Nelson

Check out the photos and movies from Room 9!
