Our Fantastic Trip

Uma’s Dad, Virat, asked Room 6 to draw some portraits to put in his restaurant, Mumbai Mexico. When we had finished them he asked us to morning tea to thank us for the portraits. So, last Tuesday, we went. First we visited the Nelson Public Library. Margot, the librarian read us a story and then we were allowed to borrow some books. Then we walked to the restaurant on Bridge Street. Virat gave us some yummy food and all the adults tried some of the Indian food. It was all delicious! We had a great time and we would like to thank Virat and Maura for their generosity.

The Sandflats

On Tuesday we went to the sand flats across the road from our school.
We were a bit nervous crossing the busy road but it was o.k. because we held hands and had dads and mums with us.
We went digging for sea creatures in groups.
We found lots of crabs which were all sorts of sizes and colours.
There were worms and snails, also mussels and barnacles and empty shells.
It was very muddy and smelly.
Some people got stuck! Carol had to pull Hayley and her gumboot out of squashy, smelly, sticky mud.
We climbed back over the rocks to go back to school.
We had a good day and we now know what creatures live in the sand flats.
