Model Train Visit

Yesterday Room One and Three went to Mike's house to see his train tracks. It was amazing to watch with lots of different trains. We met Room Three at the park for lunch. My mum came to help too. She was at the back of the line to watch the people at the back. When we went to the park we had lunch and then a play on the playground there.               by Stella

International Food Day

During the last week of Term 3 Brightwater School had a fabulous International Food Lunch. We had a choice from German sausages in a roll, Argentinian steak sandwich, sushi, buttered chicken, Churros, Lemper and a Thai chicken dish.

Museum Visit

On Friday we went to the Museum. We had lunch at the church steps first. After lunch we went in the Museum and Room 1 went in the dark room.  Then we went upstairs and we did activities. There was drawing and we were drawing on stones. We had to give the stones energy. Then we went down stairs. Next we went outside and a man talked about plants.
I liked it at the Museum because there was treasure.                                                      by Toby

On Friday we went to the Nelson Museum and we saw Nicky there. We had lunch at the Church Steps and then Nicky invited us inside the Nelson Museum. Then we did some drawing. Next we gave the stones some energy. Then we drew about some treasure and we did the map of the world. After that we did some food and finally we did some push and pull factors.                by Kingston

Belly Dancing

On  Tuesday afternoon  Room 1 had Debbie. Liam's  mum  taught  us

Turkish  dance. This is the Middle Eastern clap. Put your four  fingers just under your nose and go lallalalallalalala. Its name is Zhagreet. Then we had some fun dancing. I got to wear a special belt.  My belt didn't make any noise because it was just a plain one.
I liked doing the dancing because I can get better at it.   by Lucas

Science with Mr Kennedy

Rugby

Room 1 went on Monday to the back field with a rugby teacher called Sam. He taught us how to play rugby. He taught us how to play zig-zag around the cones. Teams of 10 and 12 were scoring tries. It was the last day with him. 
I liked the games he played.
