Museum Visit and Making Pikelets







Room 5 has just experienced an amazingly busy day at school. During Roll time we peer tested spelling and as as soon as we finished it was time for maths exchange.
Next we had a quick morning tea before heading off to the Nelson Museum. Everyone put on these cool funny clothes from the very olden days. Nicky told us what it was like for immigrants traveling from the British Isles to New Zealand by ship, in the 1840s. Pretty awful really!
We all learnt heaps of new and interesting stuff like how to tie special knots and what happens when the ship leans 30 degrees.
Once back at school we ate our lunch speedily, had a short play and then made pikelets for Pet's Day. Everyone helped make and cook them and we even had enough to try some too. They were really yummy. We will have to wait until tomorrow to see if any of our delicious pikelets win any prizes.
So that was our really fun day at school. Cool ah!
