This year we have been so excited to join the
Garden to Table programme! Garden to Table is a
programme run in schools with a focus on teaching
kids the essential skills they need to be able to
grow and cook their own food. Thanks to Mel
Ashby, Natalie Denton and Anna Fair who made
the programme possible. With the help of Armagh
Takuira, generous sponsors and all our wonderful
volunteers, the Belmont Primary Kitchen Garden
has had a big makeover and now includes a
beautiful outdoor classroom. The PTA kitchen also
had an upgrade and is now able to host groups of
kids and adults as they cook and create!

Over the year, the Year 4 Syndicate have learned
all about planting, nurturing and harvesting. They
have grown potatoes, celery, silverbeet, lettuce,
herbs, snow peas, just to name a few. We even
have a working beehive in the garden now!

In the kitchen many delicious dishes have been
prepared by the kids including lemon brownie,
spring vegetable risotto, roast cauliflower soup,
rhubarb crumble, hummus, herb tea and more! It
has been a fantastic chance for the kids to have
a go cooking and eating foods they haven’t tried
before.

We would love to extend a huge
thank you to everyone who
helped with the garden, kitchen
and Garden to Table programme
this year – we couldn’t have done

it without
you!

The Bellbirds Choir meets every Wednesday
morning at 8:15, and it's definitely worth
getting out of bed early for. This year we have learnt
and performed; This Winters Night by Emily Barden, Love
Song to the Earth by Paul McCartney and Natasha
Bedingfield and Te Tarakihi from Ngati Maniapoto. We
are immensely looking forward to performing Love Song
to the Earth and the NZ National Anthem with Rebecca
Nelson to commemorate Remembrance Day in
Devonport and joining TGS for their Christmas
Concert in November, something that the whole choir is
extremely excited about.

Singing at Prize Giving will definitely be a highlight
of the year as well; letting the seniors see us
perform at a formal occasion. Miss Peake, our
amazing conductor and incredible music teacher,
has supported us, organised events and taught us
all these wonderful songs. Now, to the upcoming
Year 4 and 5 students, we highly recommend
joining the choir, as it is so much fun and a great
experience!

We have loved being members of the Sweet Chillies Rock Band for the year 2020. Despite Covid-19 and the lockdowns,
we have been able to pull through and have a successful year. Our songs for this year have been Seven Nation Army,
What I Like About You, High Hopes, Little Talks, and Centuries. During lockdown we managed to perform and record a
school singing song, Epo I Tai Tama E which was shown during the online assemblies. Michael Macdonald was our main
drummer who played most of our songs. Also on the drums we had Sally Nicholls who played What I like about you and
Jesse Jewell who played Little Talks. Jesse Jewell and Sally Nicholls played electric guitar. On the bass we had Charlie
McGhie, on piano was John An and Olivia Xie whilst on vocals was Lydia Marshall and Larni Ashby. We would like to
thank Miss Peake and Kelly Fry for making the band so much better and helping us with songs. We couldn't have done it
without them. By Lydia Marshall and John An

The New Entrants class, Room 8,
have been responding to music
by tapping the beat using all
sorts of percussion instruments.
They have also been singing our
school songs and some have
even experienced some of the
bigger class instruments during
sharing time.

The Junior School have
delved into all things Kodaly
Solfege, learning the musical
notes Do Re Mi Fa So La Ti and Do
in all sorts of wonderful ways. This
includes with Bells, Hand Signals,
Songs, Glockenspiels and Games.

The Middle School have been working their way up the Recorder Karate Ranks. This is

from White Belt to Black Belt. Students have been practicing and performing to earn and

advance to each belt. On the way perfecting fine motor

movements, reading music and listening for the right sound. The Senior School have

worked on a Rhythm

Performance, learnt

about the Instruments of

the Orchestra and

finished with a group

Ukulele Performance.

This year, Belmont School students were inspired, educated and wowed by
our visiting performers. We had Hiwi the Kiwi interact and educate the
children on how to be safe out on the water and protect our fish. We had
Aro, the New Zealand Singer/ Songwriter duo teach us about NZ Birds
through songs and dance. Finally we had Takapuna Grammar Concert
Band and Mousike from the APO who performed on separate occasions
and taught us about the instruments of the Orchestra. In addition, Rooms 1,
2 and 3 experienced the Auckland Philharmonic Orchestra in concert with
the Massive Theatre Company on a trip to the Vodafone Events Centre.
Through performing arts they learnt about three Fearless Hearts of Aotearoa.
These were Nancy Wake, Jean Batten and Ruia Morrison.

What a challenging year for all our young budding Netballers. With 11 teams entered to play we had a
lot of new players ready to try a new sport, joining girls who have played before and wanting to
continue. Which is awesome. We had eight teams playing at Netball North Harbour. Year 4-6 teams
playing weeknights and 3 Fun Fern Year 2-3 teams playing at Ngataringa on a Saturday morning. We
are so proud of everyone’s flexibility in our stop-start year. The Year 4-6 girls went through trials for
only two or three games in the end. No one complained; it was what it was. We got through lots of
skill development at training, unfortunately we didn’t get many opportunities to show these off. Bring
on next year!!

Thanks to our many coaches and managers who once again volunteered their time for what they
thought would be a full year. We couldn’t do it without you. Thank you also to our umpires.

As with all sports, Covid-19 was the big winner in hockey this year. However, we did get some games
and Harbour Hockey did a great job in providing other opportunities for kids to be involved, even
though the regular Monday night competition took a beating.

We entered three teams into the Monday Night Winter Competition - one Year 3/4 team (the
Meteors) and two Year 5/6 teams (Comets and Tigers). To give other kids from other schools the
opportunity to play hockey this year, we included five kids from three other schools in our teams. Our
playing season consisted of the grading games only - had we been able to play for the rest of the
season, the grading results were pleasing with the Meteors making it into B Grade, the Comets
achieving D Grade, and the Tigers making A Grade for the Year 5/6 Advanced Competition - not an
easy thing to do! And there ended all competition....

However, as mentioned, Harbour Hockey have provided other opportunities for the kids this year
including the Year 5/6 Development Squad. This year four of our Belmont Boys joined the squad -
well done Jamie Wells, Daniel Feng, Will Murray and Matthew Holt.

This year we say goodbye to a big bunch of Year 6 kids who have proven themselves to be great
players and all of the coaches have loved working with them over the years - we wish you all the
best in the future. We need to thank our great coaching team of Aaron Dobby, Nichola Murray and
Robyn Holt for all their hard work during a very trying
year!
