Mrs Stewart is Leaving

It is Mrs Stewarts last day at Brightwater School. We are so sad that she is leaving, so all of the school is going to sing a song at Assembly in the afternoon and she had a ride on a shiny white helicopter in the back field. Before she went in the helicopter the whole school stood in two lines and Mrs Stewart walked down the middle. It was so windy when it landed onto the grass.We clapped for Mrs Stewart and said have a nice ride.
Today we are going to the hall to sing the song about her. The song was called 'See you Later Mrs Stewart' and another song which is called Ma Te Mahi Ka Ora.
For lunch we had a shared lunch. Mostly everyone brought some lunch. I tried to find some healthy stuff. We also made a video about Brightwater School and a scrap book to give to her. Goodbye Mrs Stewart.

Feeding the Calves

poo  it was stinky at James's farm. First Gemma got out the calf feeder. Then the 50 calves squeezed in to get their milk.  Next we saw the bobby calves that mooed lots. They were in a shed. One of them butted me hard when we were feeding it. The one that butted me was black  and white.
Next we walked up  a smallish hill and I held Mrs Roberts hand so that I didn't fall in the stinky, yucky mud. Mrs  Roberts chose two calves to take to her place.

It was fun seeing all the calves and the also the Milk Tanker came and collected the milk from the night and morning milking. Room 1 had a fun time.            by Joanna

Museum Visit

On Friday afternoon Room 1 went to the Nelson Museum to learn about Lynley Dodd the author. We got to draw a character from a Hairy Maclary book. Charlie drew Bitsa Maloney all skinny and boney and Maia did Bitsa Maloney too. There was lots of Lynley Dodd's art work for her books

on the walls at the museum.
At the front of the museum we were sitting on the front step of the Nelson museum then a man came and scared me off the front step. We went up 2 sets of steps and went past a glass window. Charlie went with his mum and I went with James. Charlie liked the museum because he did drawing and I liked the same thing.
