Salmon in the Library

Like last year Mr Science brought in some salmon  into the library. Two people from Room 11 are looking after them by testing and cleaning the water and feeding them.

Almost every Thursday two new people get trained to test and feed them. First they started off as little red ball's then fish that did not look like salmon and they had a red sack. The sack had food in it for them.

Next they turn into thing's that look more like salmon with faint black stripes. Now they look even more like salmon with darker stripes. They look sliver shiny and much better with the stripes.

Dragon Fruit

A while ago Room 11 tasted dragon fruit. When it still had its skin on it looked like a pineapple but red. When it was cut open it looked like a egg but a egg that is slimy and white with little black dot's! I think it did not taste like much but some people thought it did. 



 It come's from Vietnam and the plant is related to the cactus.

Tree Planting

The senior syndicate got their boots muddy when they went tree planting. It was really fun and there was no way to keep yourself clean. Once they did what felt like 50 plants they had some morning tea.

After that they planted another 50 more. Just after they did the second lot of plants they got to have lunch. For lunch they had New Zealand hot dogs.

Finally they went back to school just as lunch ended and were very very tired.

School Welcomes new Principal

The Victory Journalists made a short video of the powhiri held for Victory Primary School's new Principal, Helen Taylor-Young.

Everyone gets wet!

Top Team was an awesome day last term. It was exciting. Tha Mi thought the game where Ms O'leary was teacher was the best. She got really wet and cold but Ms O'leary said she had to stay. It was too cold she couldn't even stand up.

 


Some of the other games were Stop the leak, Stack the blocks, Pass the ring and The Caterpillar.

Victory in Japan

This week a Japanese film crew are filming at Victory Primary School. They are making a documentary about how Kiwis look after the environment.



They have been filming in the Bilingual Unit and they interviewed Ariana and Eita. They asked what they did with their recycling at home and if they knew any Japanese films. They went into the recycling shed and they thought it was smelly but it was just the milk cartons!

Wild Tomato

Victory journalist Saran appeared in this month's edition of Wild Tomato, a magazine showcasing Nelson.



The photo was taken at the Nelson wharf. The photo shoot took half a day. Saran found walking on the wharf a little bit scary. Saran had the opportunity to be in the magazine because her mum works for Wild Tomato.

Room 3 Museum Trip Video

Victory Primary School students visited the Nelson Museum to learn about living things. Victory Journalists Megan and Maximus went along too...

The Duffy Show

On Wednesday 2 April the Duffy Show came to Victory Primary School.

It was about Duffy's uncle. He was a rugby player and he did not read books so Duffy and his friend Rosie tried to get him to read. Most kids liked the show because it was really funny.

At the end some kids got to ask questions. One of the questions was how long had they been acting. Two of the actors started acting when they where about seven and the other one said he had been acting since he was really little.
