Nelson City Council Visit

Mel and Cameron's slideshow
Paris and Eve teamwork
Mel and Cameron from Nelson City Council came to talk to us about civil engineering. We saw a slide show about what they do, like fixing the water systems, designing the Saxton stadium and putting up artwork. We then built a structure that Leonardo Da Vinchi designed for the soldiers to cross, using ice blocks and blue tack, to show us what civil engineers do. It was a challenge to build but really fun. 
It was a great afternoon and we really appreciated them coming in.

Onomatopoeia artwork

After watching the old Batman fighting video and seeing the onomatopoeia words flashing across the screen, we were inspired to create some of our own. Here are some amazing examples of students work.
