Week 4, Term 3

We started our week with a visit from Kevin and his friends from the Fire Department. They came to talk to us about how to be 'Firewise'. Here we are pretending there was a fire in Renwick 2. We had to get low, get out and stay out!


At the moment there are lots of germs around with winter illness. We talked about how important it is to wash our hands after going to the toilet and before eating. We did a little experiment to see how quick germs can spread. Neroli put germs (paint) on 2 children. We then passed a balloon around to see how many people would get the germs on their hands...

...we all had the germs!!

For Friday funday we decidied to make some hedgehogs!

Next week...
Our sounds will be x,ch & ll. Our words are one & only.
During maths we will be ordering numbers.
On Tuesday afternoon we have Kevin and his friends coming back from the Fire Department with their fire engine. We will be looking closely at the clothing worn to fight fires and how the fire engine works.
On Thursday we have a visit to the Museum. We will be leaving school just after 9am and returning for morning tea. I will need parent helpers for this trip. A notice will come home Monday.
This Friday is P.J. day! Coming to school dressed in P.J's is lots of fun for the children. There is a gold coin donation and the money raised will be sent to the orphange in Cambodia. Unfortunately I will be out of the class for the day and Sam will be teaching.
Have a happy and safe week!
