The end of term 1!


The end of term 1 was filled with fun! 

We had an educational and interactive time learning about food and nutrition with Brittany from Foodstuffs. This began with some learning in the classroom about the importance of reading food labels. 

It was then followed up with a trip to Pak'n'Save where we could use our knowledge in the real world. 

 





We were lucky to have another special visitor who taught the class about rhythm and decibels. This interactive activity helped us to expand our musical knowledge. 


This term room 2 has been working hard to secure their class reward. After a lot of effort and time showing the school virtues and seeking excellence in our learning- we reached our goal! 

The students voted for a blanket fort and PJ afternoon- It was a super way to end a fantastic first term.

While we explored the time capsules, we took down notes in our books of important information to add to our reports.  Here are some of Room two's thoughts:  "I loved seeing all of the ways that NBC has changed" -Jacob  "It was cool to know what happened when other people were here and finding interesting dates" -Quinn  "It was cool seeing how NBC has changed and some of the connections we had to the people who wrote the time capsule" -Samuel  "It was interesting seeing what people in 1994 thought the future would be like" -Paige  "I enjoyed finding out the names o...

In week 3 Room 2 set off on an adventure to Arthur's Pass!  It was a fun-filled week that included lots of scenic hikes, hut building, cooking, sensory trails (and more).  Some of the highlights in Room 2 were:  "Seeing the massive waterfall at the end of The Devil's Punchbowl walk"  "Being able to lead the walking group which was my camp goal"  "Playing spotlight and the fun games like 'sneak up on bacon'" "Going to a place I have never been to before and seeing new things" Below is a short video showing the year five and six camp highlights!  Ngā mihi,  Helena Pownall
