Congratulations to Trina BennettTrina is a member of our senior
staff and teaches in TePouahi R15. What are we congratulating her
for? Well,
Trina was successful with her application for a UNISYS
Kidz Connect Award. The award gives her $1,000 to
complete an e-learning project with her class. Trina willteach
animation skills to her class using a Human Rightslens with a focus
on conflict resolution between indigenous
peoples and dominant cultures. Each child will use a green
screen and a mini webcam to tell their stories. They
willmanipulate characters and screens and show their
processes to a wider audience. Programmes will be in
Maori and English and are likely to involve videoconferencing
with people from other parts of the world.
A rare opportunityOn 2nd June children will have an opportunity
to hearGeoff Knights story. Geoff's story captivates school
students and gives them an insight into the choices they are
making right now. Geoff has enormous influence withschool
children that stems from his rough start in life, roles
on t elevision and his unmistakable talent for singing that
delights students and teachers alike.
Geoff tells his story from the heart, and this means school
students hear Geoff's messages, which include: Make the most of
your opportunities at school
With bullying, everyone loses
Have the courage to live your dream.
Geoff will share his story and singing in Trinity Hall on
Tuesday 2nd June 12:45 1:25 pm. Entry will be by way ofa gold
coin donation.

read her 2 books about a pig family! She also presented us with
afree autographed copy of one of her books.
Yesterday I went to the Nelson Public Library. Only one class
went
from Nelson Central School. It was us, Renwick Two. We had to
sit
still. We went in cars. I went with Hollys mum. After Luis went
inthe front of the car, I did. I had to step on Lucys doll! We saw

RememberWe are aiming at reducingthe amount of gladwrap we
use and to encourage the useof paper instead as it can be
sent home to be composted.
The reason for doing this is
to reduce our carbon
footprint and to Share the
Planet.
