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!!

TRIP TO BROADGREEN HOUSE IN 2012

Zyrene  is   wearing  a  yoke   to  carry  buckets  of  milk.  

She and Neil and James found many things at Broadgreen House that they use in the Philippines.

Ashla is a 'puppet pal' expert!

Zyrene, Neil and Jessie are from the Philippines!  Neil and Jessie are twins. They are not used to our cold weather.

Siao-Wei is showing how to blow bubbles.

Our   trip   to   the   Centre   of   NZ

Julia made some delicious brownies for us.

Tommy is being photo shy!!

Tommy gets attention from Julia, after falling over.

Enjoying lunch at the top.

Gosh, you are so brave, Tommy!

Anna has a good hold of the 3 boys!

Is that a rubbish tin, Anna??

Siao-Wei still blowing those bubbles.

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.
By Ashla

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. 

                   The   kids    screamed!!  By Jimmy

Saio-Wei tells about her time at the sports.......

Smart Students!!

Hao-Ren and Tommy can match up the pictures with the letters very quickly! They took a photo of each other when the game was finished.

room 4 water polo, with Ton Kau

I  like  playing  water  polo  because  I  like  playing  in  a  team.

Andrea, Lucas, Aadarsh and Le'uma worked together to make a 'welcome' montage. Look for it in the admin block.

Le'uma is busy pasting the 'welcome' signs on.

greetings from us!

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!

Swimming sports 2011

This is at the swimming sports at nayland pool .
We could choose which  race to enter. We both entered the breaststroke race. When you were third,second,or first you were given a little block. In the morning it was very cold. The water was very freezing. This day was very funny because we have not so long at School. When we came back to the School it was Lunchtime. In the Afternoon it was warm !
