NBC Picnic

NBC Picnic

Last Tuesday we held our school picnic in the Domain and in the school grounds.
It was a great time. There were bouncy castles, face painting, silly bikes, games
and people eating! It looked like everyone had a blast. I enjoyed the silly bikes
especially the ski sled bike and tandem bikes. A big thank you to all the people
who helped organise the evening, especially Miss Buckley!

Holy Spirit- Pentecost Display

Holy Spirit Display

On Tuesday we helped Hannah Williams-Blakey make a Holy Spirit sculpture in the library to coincide with Pentecost on Sunday. Hannah works in a library in town and organises craft groups for kids of all ages. We started by cutting and gluing together some paper doves that everyone in the school made during buddy prayers last week. Then we cut out some triangles to represent the flames of the Holy Spirit. Once we cut them out Hannah stapled them to the wall to form flames, while she was doing that we pinned the doves to the wall. It is a inspirational sculpture and we feel if you see it you will be touched by the Holy Spirit. Hopefully you can come and see it tomorrow.

Miriama Kamo

On Tuesday 8th May, Miriama Kamo came to NBC to talk to the juniors (year 1-3) and

Intermediate children (Year 7 & 8) about her book The Stolen Stars Of Matariki 

Which is due to be released in May this year. She also spoke about her journalism

career as a radio announcer and producer at National Radio, and then her work

at TVNZ.

Hayley introduced herself with her Mihi and Miriama then introduced

herself in Te reo as well. After that she told us a little bit about what she has done in her

career. We had the opportunity to ask questions such ‘Who inspired you in your

life?’. She answered our questions and told us about her time at NBC. Overall her

talk was very inspiring to all of us and we were grateful for her visit.

St. John Visit

Today in Room 1 we were lucky enough to have Paula from St. Johns come and teach us some first aid and CPR. We learned about the DRSABC(D) acronym, about when and how to help in an emergency, and two tunes we can sing to make sure we're giving CPR at the right speed!

Thanks to ASB for sponsoring Paula and the rest of the St. Johns organization so that we can learn these important skills.
