'A BLAST FROM THE PAST'

Room 14 has been making comparisons between 'then' and 'now'.
We went for a trip back in time at Founders Park. We got to wander around and take a look at what life was like in 'early Nelson' days.
Check out our photos of our 'magical day'

Campbell and Tom have been arrested at last!!


Tom firing the cannon!

We watched a movie about how the 'cut' in the boulder bank was created and how Nelson's port industry began

Inside the 'maritime' museum



Ethan firing Max 'sky high!'

The girls turn!




Those kids are sooooo mean to me!!!! What did I do to deserve this??

The old church and windmill

In the medical hospital!! hmmm Scarlet and Ella look a little concerned about some of the instruments

A classic old car

A typical 'fire fighter'

The general store..... Lux flakes anyone?


The candy jars!!!



Stained glass windows in the old church

Old type writers...... thank goodness for Ipads and laptops!!! how ever did they cope?

Scarlet compares my cell phone with the old classic telephones! oh how technology has changed!


The surprise train ride on 'Little Toot'





At the Queen's garden for our picnic lunch. Look at the cute yellow, furry friend we found!

rascals in the gazebo

We magically went to Japan!

The water fountain!! where Shelby's hat blew off! and into the water. Deb saved the day!, the kids were watching with anticipation, hoping i would fall in!!!

  2. I wonder if the magical memory will end up being Debbie saving Shelby's hat ... :-) Thanks for having me along Rm 14. I learnt loads about Nelson's past too. Karen (Florence's mum)
