Today we celebrated cultural diversity by holding a 'parade of nations.'

The children dressed up in beautiful and thoughtful items to represent some part of their unique cultural heritage. A fun day was had by all.

Swimming on a Tuesday

Included are some cool photos from our swimming session today. I like the one of Bendi teaching some children, the bombs and the dives and the posed star jumps! A bit blurry sorry, still learning how to use the iPads properly!

Thought this was pretty neat! Neisha created a robot from recycled materials this morn @ Creative Thinking. Tu Meke! (and it matches our the blog background too...)

Our trip to Nelson Marina

We enjoyed a fantastic trip to Nelson Port on Monday.
The children learnt to tie bowline knots, had a tour of the Nelson Port, and had two guest teachers Richard De Hammel from Otago Uni and a guest teacher from Cawthron.
All in all a great day out!
