Thankyou to the parents who assisted on the day.

RSA veterans visit Rm 10 and 11

Nelson RSA veterans were invited in to school on Wednesday so we could share our learning about ANZAC. We started by welcoming them in the library where Marcos and Kimberly introduced some of our learning and talked about our commemoration service. We sang the 'Tribute to the ANZACs' song led by Jack, Johnny and Jamie. After that we moved into small groups and had the opportunity to read our letters we had written to an ANZAC soldier. These letters shared our learning and we were able to ask lots of questions to find out even more. Finally we invited our guests to the staff room for a cup of tea and to sample the ANZAC biscuits some of us had made. We saw and held some of their war medals and listened to many stories. It was a great afternoon.

Island Measuring

Tine to measure the perimeters of our islands. Using wool and group cooperation we wound it round our island then used large rulers to find the length, 1cm = 1km.
