Heritage Trail

Last Friday Te Pouahi 16 and 17 took part in the Heritage trail. Our first stop was at the Alton street panel. Here we saw what Alton street looked like many years ago. We also saw what Nelson Central use to look like. It wasn't as big as it is now! We also noticed the Lime trees and the Redwood trees have definitely grown!! We were very interested in hearing about the Griffins factory that use to be across the road from Nelson Central! Whaea Erina remembers the Griffins Factory. She even got to go to the factory with one of her teachers once and returning to school with a bag full of Pineapple Lumps!!! We thought she was very lucky!

Next we walked to Bishops School. Here we got to compare how this school was different to ours. Mr Goodman answered many of our questions. We were really interested hearing about the strap, having to have our fingernails and shoes inspected each day and Mr Goodman even rung the school bell for us! The rules for a teacher were very interesting too.
