2 0 0 9 Nga mihi nui ki a koutou katoa te whanau whanui o te
Kura Tuatahi o Whakatu – Greetings to friends and family of Nelson Central School.
Teachers are always looking for ways to help childrenenjoy their learning. This week Room 6 children took onthe challenge of using all the words from their spelling list
in an imaginative way - they chose to writ e a story! Here
is a small sample of what they did.
“Once upon a time there was a boy called Mitchell. In his
dreams he had the ability to play for Manchester United.
His appearance was going to be with a collection of super stars. On the way to England they saw a gorilla sitting on
an iceberg dyeing his hair blonde while singing a verse of
‘Mamma Mia’ and playing a triangle but looking very
bored.Mitchell was the only one to see the gorilla because it wasdawn and the majority of passengers were still in bed
drinking tea and other refreshments”.
In the end his dream came true.” (Tayla)
“Once upon a time down in the South Pole lived a gorilla
that had a co llect ion of triangles. The majority of people
were bored so the gorilla started dyeing the iceberg green.The next morning everyone had the ability to get up at
dawn and sang one verse of Bad Hair Day. After they sang
they had refreshments. Even the gorilla had cola for
refreshment s.” (David)Reminder - ICAS EntriesEntries for Computer Skills and Science have closed butit’s not too late to enroll for other tests.
