Barnicoat Walk

Parents and Caregivers 

Here is the gear list for The Barnicoat Walk - Wednesday 3rd July (postponement date 5th July)

Gear:

It is really important that the students have adequate clothing for the tramp and we have included a gear list to give them plenty of time to organise themselves.  

We will not be taking students who do not have the correct gear.  

It is also our expectation that all parents are well equipped. 

Day pack - this needs to be a small back pack (school use back packs are fine)

Wear:

• Sturdy shoes/sneakers and socks (no jandals, sandals, ballet flats or other thin soled shoes)
• Shorts or suitable pants to be walking in, 
• T-shirt 
• Spare pair of socks.

Also bring:

• Polypro long sleeve top
• Polar fleece
• Wet weather jacket
• Sunhat.
• Woolly hat
• Gloves

AND:  

Morning tea/lunch, drink bottle, scroggin or other cereals/high carbohydrate snacks

It will be a challenging and fantastic experience for our students so we need them to be safe and well equipped.

Roman Technology

We recently tok a trip to The Museum in Nelson and saw a lot of interesting machines and weapons that the Romans used.
We used the 'ShowMe' app on the iPads to share what we learnt about some of these machines.

My Famous Dreamer

My Famous Dreamer
My famous person is Lionel Messi. He plays for FC Barcelona and Argentina. His dream was to become a famous soccer player and he achieved it. He was born on the 25th of June 1927. He now is 26 years old, he kicks with his left foot and when he was 21 he got the Fifa world player of the year. I think that Lionel Messi is the best player in the world and that he keeps playing soccer until he is 30 or 35.
