Museum Trip

Yesterday Room 4 went on a class trip to Nelson. We had lunch at the Queens Gardens and then went to visit the Nelson Museum.

The exhibition was about plant life cycles, food chains, NZ native insects, plants and birds. We also learnt about pests and The Brook Sanctuary.

We wanted to say a special thanks to the parents that helped with transport and teaching us at our different learning stations.Thank you to Mrs Barlow, Mrs O' Connell, Ms Daniel, Mrs Dunn, Mrs Hunt, Ms Haskell, Mrs Winn, Ms Thibodeau and Mrs Robinson.

We had lots of fun and learnt some interesting things about our environment.

Please read on to find out what we enjoyed the most about our trip to town.
