Natureland trip

We had a great time visiting Natureland. We were lucky to go 'behind the scenes' and see the blue tongued lizard and also the baby mice.
We have made a book to go in the library at school.
Siao-Wei has written a letter to the editor of the paper because she is worried that Natureland may close.
She also wrote a letter of thanks to Natureland, so she has been busy!

2013

At the end of 2012 we said goodbye to Zyrene  and Ton Kau, who are both now attending Broadgreen Intermediate. I am sure that they are joining in as many activities as possible and really having fun! 

Anna, Zakyla, Jimmy, Jasmin and Ashla are also no longer on the ESOL roll. But they are still here at Nayland Primary, and we stay in touch.

So presently the ESOL roll has just 6 children on it - James, Neil, Mya, Tommy , Siao-Wei and 
Hao-Ren.

Siao-Wei and Hao-Ren have been lucky to spend their holidays in Taiwan and are due back on the 25th of March. They will have plenty to tell us!!

a visit to the orchard

First we saw a big truck  with bins of apples at
 Lesley's house. By Anna

We are choosing an apple out of the bin.



The picker is showing us how to
 put the apples into the bin.
Anna found an enormous pear!! I liked the pears best.

After we picked the apples we had morning tea.
I liked the tomato and crackers. By Siao-Wei
                                                   I teased  the  kids with  a  worm and  I  was  shaking it.

TonKau has come to our school and she is in Room 4. She was living in the huge city of Chiang Mai and is now with her mum here in Stoke.

ela course - 2010



In the winter Julia and Trish and Lesley were lucky to attend an ELA course. Here is Julia working with Tai and Aadarsh. They are discussing a letter which has been sent to the school by a past pupil. Our school is having its 50th reunion this week and the old pupils will watch the classes in action!
