A Visit From The Firefighters

We had a wonderful day on Tuesday because the Firefighters from Takapuna Fire Station came to visit us. We learnt that: Matches and lighters are tools and if we find them we should always give them to an adult. A candle should be put into a safe holder so that it does not cause a fire. We need to have smoke alarms in our house. You can not hear a fire if you are asleep. If there is a fire we need to shout " Fire, Fire, Fire".  We need to get down, get low and get out fast. When we are outside we need to go to a safe meeting place, then call 111 and tell the operator that there is a fire. We really enjoyed practicing getting down, getting low and getting out.

Our School Assembly

On Friday we hosted the School Assembly with our buddy class Room 10. Our theme was how to be sun smart and safe at the beach. As the weather is getting warmer we need to remember to SLIP on a shirt, SLOP on some sunscreen, SLAP on a hat and WRAP on some sunglasses. Below are some photos. Thank you for coming and watching our assembly!

Kelly Sports

On Wednesday Jeremy from Kelly Sports came into take us for some fun activities. We really enjoyed kicking the soccer ball through the hoops, hitting the ball with cricket bats, turbo touch, tossing , clapping and then catching the ball and bowling tennis balls into the hoops.

Thank You Special People

We would like to say a huge thank you to all the special people who came to school at the end of last term to look at the beautiful sand saucers we had made, watch us doing folk dancing and talk about toys you had when you were little. It was a fabulous way to end our unit on toys!

Special Persons Day

This week we made beautiful flower cards to invite a special person to school on Thursday the 19th of September at 11.20 -12.30pm. We are going to make sand saucers in the morning of that day to show to our special visitor. We are also going to perform some of the folk dances that we have learnt during the term.

The Big Sad Wolf

On Friday we went to a fantastic show called the Big Sad Wolf. It was about a wolf who always got blamed for things that he did not do like: Eating sheep, trying to trick Little Red Riding Hood and blowing the Little Pigs houses down. At the end of the show The Big Sad Wolf and the Royal Huntsman found out that the judge was the boy who cried wolf.

The Tinderbox Show

On Tuesday we had a visit from The Toyman. His name was Richard. He brought in to our school lots and lots of old fashioned toys. There were spinning tops,  jack in the boxes,  ball and cups, puppets, peg dolls,  hen pickers,  climbing men and an amazing marble run. We learnt that old toys often moved using string, they did not use batteries or electricity, they were not made out of plastic and they were often made for children by their mothers and fathers. We really loved having time to play with all of the fabulous toys.
