HAS ANYBODY seen Jade?<br />
The play horse is missing from<br />
Charleston Reserve.<br />
There seem to be some<br />
confusion over a missing horse<br />
otoring<br />
that is supposed be with its<br />
partner, Charlie, in the reserve<br />
in Waltham.<br />
Charleston Residents’<br />
Association chairman John<br />
Hoskin said his wife saw it leave<br />
the reserve on the back of a city<br />
council truck in 2015 and hasn’t<br />
seen it since.<br />
“It’s completely and utterly<br />
asty Bites<br />
lost,” Mr Hoskin said.<br />
The city council said it<br />
returned a horse a year ago,<br />
after it was repaired at a cost<br />

Play horse still missing<br />
from Charleston Reserve<br />
of $1200.<br />
However, there is still one<br />
missing.<br />
The horses were affectionately<br />
named Jade and Charlie by local<br />
school children in the early<br />
2000s.<br />
One was named Jade because<br />
of the close proximity the<br />
reserve has to Lancaster Park,<br />
formally called Jade Stadium.<br />
Its partner, Charlie, was<br />
named to symbolise the area.<br />
Mr Hoskin said he hopes Jade<br />
is replaced by the city council<br />
or Linwood-Central-Heathcote<br />
Community Board – but in<br />
the meantime if anyone sees<br />
the horse, phone the residents’<br />
association on 389 35 84.<br />
New learning space for<br />
Cashmere Primary<br />
• By Caitlin Miles<br />
SPACIOUS: One of the learning spaces where pupils and<br />
teachers are able to easily move around.<br />
CASHMERE PRIMARY School<br />
officially opened its new learning<br />
space when the school opened<br />
for the first time this year.<br />
The learning space is the<br />
equivalent of 10 classrooms, in a<br />
two-storey building, with five on<br />
each floor.<br />
It has been built on existing<br />
school ground and is part of the<br />
Ministry of Education’s move to<br />
make more open plan learning<br />
spaces in schools around Canterbury.<br />
The school entered the<br />
programme in 2014.<br />
Principal Gavin Burn said the<br />
new learning spaces are very<br />
different from the traditional.<br />
“The idea here is that the<br />
environment has a variety of<br />
spaces and uses and that the<br />
children are able to use these<br />
in ways that best support their<br />
learning,” Mr Burn said.<br />
The building replaces three<br />
classroom blocks that were demolished<br />
last year to make room<br />
for the new learning spaces.<br />
It has four teachers and four<br />
homerooms on the ground floor<br />
and five teachers with five homerooms<br />
on the first floor.<br />
The pupils were excited to explore<br />
the open plan classrooms<br />
and use the new learning space.<br />
“It’s pretty cool, I like the<br />
different areas and I like the<br />
colours of the building. I like<br />
that it’s all open so I can easily<br />
move around and learn with my<br />
teachers and my friends,” said<br />
year 6 pupil, Louise.<br />
A year 3 and 4 teacher said<br />
the space makes it easier to<br />
communicate with other<br />
teachers and the impact it will<br />
have on the pupils.<br />
“I’m really enthusiastic about<br />
the positive impact this will have<br />
on our students, both socially<br />
and academically. It’s quite<br />
humbling and I feel very lucky<br />
to be working in our school right<br />
now,” she said.<br />
The learning space will allow<br />
for further role growth at the<br />
school.<br />

My art covers a broad range of mediums, including<br />
sculpture, printmaking, mixed media, and<br />
furniture and I typically create one off pieces. I’m<br />
passionate about sustainability, so where possible<br />
I use reclaimed materials. I believe salvaged<br />
materials have an inherent beauty that should be<br />
showcased.<br />
In New Zealand,<br />
we’re fortunate<br />
to have a rich<br />
landscape, that is<br />
the envy of many.<br />
These artworks<br />
draw on our diverse<br />
landscape and looks<br />
at the burden that<br />
society has and<br />
High relief sculptures for the continues to have<br />
wall by Hamish Southcott.<br />
on this beautiful part<br />
of the world. Our actions<br />
today, have far reaching<br />
consequences tomorrow!<br />
I sought to reflect these<br />
contexts in artworks that<br />
convey the present and my<br />
hopes for positive change in<br />
the future.<br />

My Paintings are Strong, deliberately imperfect,<br />
and beautiful.<br />
For me painting is emotive, and a great deal of<br />
time and thought goes into each creation.<br />
I am drawn to texture and contrast, and my<br />
process consists of straightening and perfecting,<br />
then pushing the<br />
paint in a freer,<br />

less controlled<br />
manner. I find<br />
both approaches<br />
necessary,<br />

Tania Bostock has<br />
lived in Nelson for<br />
ten years. She<br />
has always had<br />
an interest in<br />
art, and because<br />
of the success<br />
of her paintings<br />
it was a natural<br />
progression to<br />
become a fulltime<br />
Artist.<br />
