I wish I was....

Today at NCS we supported the Make a Wish foundation by dressing up. The theme was I wish I was... We raised $250 for this great organisation.  Way to go NCS!

Amba wished she was still in bed!  Check out Leo's amazing Iron Man costume.  His Dad is pretty talented making his mask.

Sally our teacher always wanted to be a teacher.  But she wishes she was like Miss Frizzle from the Magic School Bus who takes her class on amazing adventures!

Yesterday we were treated to a performance by the Te Pouahi Kapahaka Group. They are off to Palmerston North next week for the National Kapahaka competition.  All the best Te Pouahi!

This week in writing we have been learning to write Acrostic Poems.

Here is an amazing poem that Riley wrote.

Animals hiding in caves or behind

Rocks that are

Covered 

Top to bottom

In snow.

Cracked chunks of ice float into the distance away from the snowy waste land.

Last week we participated in the Nelson Masked Parade.  Well done to Nayland Primary who won the overall supreme award.  Check out photos and video from the event

We are lucky enough to have Ben and Andre from Nelson tennis in at school coaching us at the moment.  Thanks to Amaya for taking these picture of us in action.

Excitement at NCS!

On Monday we had a powhiri to welcome our new Principal Pip Wells to our school.  We sung a waiata and lots of people spoke in Maori.  Children from Pip's last school, Tasman School and other friends and family came with Pip as well. After the powhiri the adults had a special morning tea.

Today is the Mask Parade. Our school theme is Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. We are the swirlypops from Willy Wonka's Factory.  Look out for us tonight at the Masked Parade and check back here for more photos and videos soon!
