On Friday we had a special ceremony for the Pike River miners. It was a great time for us all to think about the families who have lost someone special because of this disaster. We have been following the story since it happened on the 19 November. We collected $150 to send to the Greymouth District Council and we wrote a letter to the mayor Tony Kokshoorn. Mrs Wadsworth is going to the public memorial on Thursday in Greymouth.
Last Tuesday we went to Saxton Field for Inter School athletics. We were competing against the 6 other Nelson Schools. We got 3rd overall for the 11 year old girls. It was a really hot day and we were all exhausted by the time we got back to school!
Today we started an art project with Judy Keylock. She is helping us to create something special for the buildings around our school. We started today with paper clay and we got to create our own designs on them. Watch this space for progress!
Amir got 3rd place in the TVNZ Netguide Web challenge for 2010. He designed a website about our edible gardens here at school. Amir and his Mum flew to Auckland for the award ceremony.
Well done Amir, we are all very proud of you!

We had the most amazing week at camp in Christchurch. The buzz is still going on in the classroom as we discuss the highlights of our trip. We worked really hard during the year to raise the money we needed to go on camp. It was well worth all the hard work as our camp will be one we will always remember. The highlights for most of the class was the ice skating and Adrenaline Forest. We didn’t feel any after shocks and the class was incredibly well behaved. Everywhere we visited commented on how great our manners were.
A big thanks needs to go to our parent helpers; Gabi, Vicky, Kay, Cameron, Sarah & Mal. Also a thanks to Georgina for all her help with fundraising and coming on camp with us.
