We had a cake stall today because we are raising money for our camp. We are not going to camp until Term 4 but we want to get started on our fund raising early as the other classes need to do fund raising too. Our camp is going to be at Teapot Valley. Our buddies, Riley and Sophie came to buy cakes and it was their very first cake stall. We raised $107. That's a great start!

Fun and Games

It was fantastic fun in Room 5 this morning, even before school started. Viv had given us the homework task of designing a game that we could play inside on a rainy day. We started playing our games as soon as we arrived. We were only allowed 2 sticks, 2 straws, a table tennis ball, as much string as we needed, and cellotape if we needed it. Viv had the equipment ready for us when we arrived.
Hamish made a hockey game to play on the carpet. There were heaps of games like table tennis, netball, soccer and lots of other games.
Everyone made up a game. They made it fun because it was creative.

Googling Nelson for Tourists

We had a wonderful session this week at elearning- (that's short for electronic learning.) We pretended we were tourists and we googled "Interactive Map of Nelson". We found a great website of a map of Nelson which had pictures of pins. If you click on the pins you can find accommodation, activities, restaurants and tourist shops. The address is;
www.harlequin.co.nz/MAPS/mapsfrontpage.htm
You should try it if you want to find out more about maps or the things we have in Nelson.
