The Nelson Cathedral - 'Nelson's Treasure'

Room 14 went for a special trip to the Nelson Cathedral this morning!
We went as part of our 'Environment' Unit so we could explore a different environment in the Nelson area.
We heard the Pipe organ being played, and we even got to tip toe up to the Bell tower and ring the bells for all of Nelson to hear! The stained glass windows are amazing!
Check out our cool photos.
We think every class should go to visit the Nelson Cathedral. It is a very special place!


The Pipe Organ. Did you know it has over 2000 pipes inside?


The winding staircase that leads to the Pipe Organ


The long walk down the aisle!



The 'Rose Window' The pictures tell a story!

  3. I'm pleased you enjoyed your trip Room 14. It brought back memories for me as I have taken a class there before and I too enjoyed the beautiful building, ringing the bells and listening to the magnificent organ. I thought you looked like a" little angel" in the choir gear James!:)
