Lesley's Orchard

" Hi, i'm emma again."

"This time we went to Lesley's home, it was fun"

"That was Lesley when she was picking some graps for us."

"This are all Esol children and behind us are some parents from use."

"This are some YUMMY Apples from Lesley."

"They are so long the posts, what du you think?"

                                            We had all really much apples and many bags.

             By morning tea we had lots of different sorts of cakes. Julia brought a cake with chocolate fish.

MY HOLIDAY IN PAIHIA, by Ture

Paihia is great for a holiday!
In Pahia I saw dolphins swimming.
We stayed in a big house.
Paihia has a nice beach with interesting shells.
I drove the boat to Russell!
We saw inside a Maori meeting house, and we watched a haka.

Emma's Holidays

"Hallo i'm Emma again,
now I will tell you about my Holidays in Hobbiton.
We drove in a bus to the houses built for the Hobbits.
There were lots of big houses in the grass. They looked funny!
There was a man-made tree with leaves that had been painted by school children.When they were finished Peter Jackson said"They are not the right color!"
So, the children had to paint 2000 more leaves.
There was one house that we could go into and it was fascinating because the furniture was huge!
I would recommend going to Hobbiton because it is very cool if you see the movie and then go to the set."

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!

Around the earth there are power lines, cars and houses.

He is showing us how much people have changed the earth.

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!!
