Krystal's Natcoll Experience

Natcoll, not only for adult students.

Natcoll, (ICT Computer and Design Institution) has had the company of Primary School Students, attending for computer lessons. This term, Carol Kendall, the computer tutor, has been teaching Primary Students how to Blog. Using the Blogspot website, these students have an opportunity to learn and teach others in the future.

They have been doing awesome stuff like commenting on other bloggers work, putting interesting pictures on their website to decorating their page and heaps more activities. Wainoni School has participated in this and has a page of their own. They have included Magazine covers, Voki’s, phrases and even maps of their favorite places. They also have t-shirts with important messages written on them, this school is just one of the lucky schools who participate in this awesome opportunity.

Jordan's Skiing and Snowboarding

Skiing and Snowboarding

On Tuesday 8 September, most of the Year 6, 7 and 8s went skiing or snowboarding. They went to Porter Heights and got there by cars and vans. On the way there they stopped at Springfield and also went past different places.

They went there to have fun and learn. They were also there representing their school. They had to learn how to ski or snowboard if they had never been before, they did that with the lessons. After that they were allowed free time. At 3:30 pm they left and went back to their school, then went home.

Taylor's Recount

THE MAGNIFICENT PORTER HEIGHTS SKI TRIP.

After months of planning and a lot of meetings, twenty eight Wainoni pupils, four teachers and the Police Education Officer, Constable Debbie, all gathered at Wainoni Primary School gate by 7:30 am local time on Tuesday 8 September. Just before Wainoni Primary met a number of schools in the Canterbury district at the ski field, they stopped at Springfield for a snack. A few pupils at Wainoni bought their snack at the nearest café. They all finished travelling to the ski field via convoy.

The bright reflection of the snow made all of the skiers or snowboarders wear safety ski goggles or sunglasses. All the schools that came to Porters Heights had to wear their gear they brought before they were allowed to collect their skis. The schools first had ski lessons until lunchtime when everyone ate or kept trying to get into the intermediate area, apparently the only one that got wiped out in Wainoni School was Taylor.

Anne's Ski Story

WAINONI SKIER'S
BY ANNE
On Tuesday the 8th of September, Term 3, 2009, Wainoni School went skiing at Porters Heights.
They used four vans and a teacher’s car. On their way they stopped off at the giant donut in Springfield for a toilet break.
Everyone helped each other and almost everyone was on the Intermediate section, lots of people fell off the Magic Carpet that goes up hill so you can go down.
They went to get an outdoor education and to have fun, all the kids enjoyed it and can not wait till next time.
