We were all entranced by Tom's amazing science raps and we even got to join in the singing and dancing. Thanks Tom for visiting our school. You can check out Tom at the International Science Festival in the school holidays.

Roz and Switch

Today our school had two special visitors from the DCC, Roz and her dog Switch. They came to school to talk to us about being safe around dogs. We learnt how a dog tells us to go away, how to approach a dog, how to pat a dog, and to always ask before you touch someone elses dog. We loved having them to visit!

Rhythm Interactive

 
 












Today NEVNS was lucky enough to attend an amazing interactive drumming performance at the Opoho Church with the fabulous Julian and Anton. We were amazed to find out when we got there that all the children were going to be part of the performance, they all had a drum to play. Anton led the children by demonstrating patterns on his drum for them to follow. It was so much fun, but very noisy. By the end of the show we all had sore, pink hands.

Golf

Today room 2 had golf lessons with marvellous Melanie from Kiwi Golf. She taught us about the parts of a club, how to hold it correctly and how to swing the club so the ball goes a long way. We practiced by hitting balls of all different sizes. Next Melanie taught us how to chip a ball, that is hitting it so it only goes a short distance. We learnt that this is the shot you play to get your ball on the green. Golf was great!

Culture day

On monday North East Valley Normal school had a big day were each class made something for the shared lunch for culture day.

Busy Bees

Last Monday Anna's Grandad came to our classroom to talk about bees.
First he showed us the queen bee inside the glass frame then he told us to pass around the honey comb where the bees lay their eggs. Then we got to look at the bee larvae in some photographs, when the first queen bee grub hatches it goes and kills all the other queen bee grubs so she is the queen of the hive. He gave us some fresh honey and we had a delicious, nutritious honey sandwich.

Confident Kids

 
Today with Constable Somerfield we have been learning to be confident kids. We have been working on knowing what to say and do if someone is doing something to us we don't like. We are confident kids who can keep ourselves safe.

Harold

Today we had a fantastic visit to the life education bus to see our friends Jacki and Harold. We went on a fascinating train journey around the cirulatory system and learnt all sorts of things about how our heart works. We put some of our ideas into a wordle. We can't wait until our second visit on Monday!

Scott Kvick - Super skiker

Today we were very lucky to meet Scott Kvick who plays ice hockey for the Dunedin Thunder. The children had heard about Scott and his skikes in the Otago Daily Times and Mrs Will arranged for him to visit us. Scott is planning on using his skikes, which are kind of a cross between skis and skates, to skike from Cape Reinga to Bluff to raise money for Canteen and the SPCA. We loved meeting Scott and hearing about his very interesting challenge. Good Luck Scott!
