Fruit and Vegetable Racers

While many in the class challenged themselves at summer tournament the remaining students in room 13 challenged themselves to make the most visualing appealing and/or fastest fruit and vegetable car to race down the library ramp.

Bridge Valley Trip

On March 22 Room 13 ventured to Bridge Valley for a team building day. Activities ranged from high ropes in the trees, to rescuing a headless and footless "Bob" from a plane crash and using a flying fox and tubes to get across the dam. The aqua tramp was a highlight for many students.
A great day was had by all and the team spirit and team work between the class was fantastic.
Thanks to Bridge Valley for having us at their wonderful facility.

Museum trip

On Wednesday March 17 Room 13 visited the Nelson Provincial Museum to add to our learning in our One Nation Many Cultures topic. We looked at stories from New Zealand's first Chinese immigrant, Appo Hocton, and stories from more recent immigrants to the Nelson Region.

Due to a double booking we even got to work with students from Waimea Intermediate.Thank you to the Nelson Provincial Museum in getting the exhibition together and working with us on the day.

Team Tower

As part of our getting to know each other unit the class was split into groups and challenged to make the largest free standing tower with a section of newspaper and a metre of tape. The results were mixed with some great successes and some not reaching great heights. But fun was had by all and the teams generally worked together well.

Room 13 Man

As part of our "getting to know each other" unit in health the class each created a piece of the puzzle to make up our Room 13 man. Each piece contains colours, images that have some cultural or personal significance to each student.
