A Special Visitor

Today we were really privileged to have Joseph Sullivan come and visit us with his gold medal.  Joe won his gold medal at the 2012 Olympic Games in London with his rowing partner Nathan Cohen in the double sculls.  They rowed an amazing race to come from dead last to win it and were nicknamed the hobbits by other athletes because they were from NZ and were so short compared to the other rowers.  One great piece of advice that Joe told us was that you should never let anyone tell you that you can't do something because if you really want to do it, you should give it your best any way.
Joe with his gold medal - it is REALLY heavy!

We all got to have a hold of his medal!

Even Mrs Forsyth :-)

We watched a replay of his gold medal race.

Dawn McMillan - Authour




We were so lucky to have a real author come and visit our class in the last week of term.  Her name is Dawn McMillan and she has written A LOT of children's books.  She read us some of her books including... Doctor Grundy's Undies and I Need A New Bum!


Change

Over the term we have carried out lots of experiments - mainly around our milk study but some others as well.  These are some of the pictures that haven't been shared yet...

















Silver Fern Railcar

Yesterday we went to see the Silver Fern Railcar arrive in Westport.  We were told it would arrive at 11.00am but it was running late and arrived around 12.20 pm.
