Who is MRS GREN?

Today in class we learned about the seven life processes. We brainstormed hard by ourselves, then in a group to see if we could come up with them ourselves. We decided they were:
  • Growing- seed to tree, baby to adult
  • Movement- humans move and plants move towards light
  • Breathe/oxygen/inhale
  • Eat/drink- consume/supplements
  • Emotions
  • Can die
  • Have blood/sap
We then watched this BBC School Bitesize Revision clip (click on image). How well did we do?!

Something for the whole family!

Last Friday at 3.30pm some of our NCS students performed Jai Ho to an audience in central Nelson. All students from Years 3-6 were taught this dance during drama and were invited to perform this with Daniel their drama teacher.
Watch the video and feel free to dance this dance around your home as often as you like with the sound turned up! Maybe you could get your whole family involved?! (Now that would be funny!)
