FIRE FIRE FIRE ! ! !

Today we were lucky to have Phillip and Wi (from Room 11) in our class for the day.

We made pictures pretending there was a fire in our house, and we had to escape from the smoke. Here are the pictures that the boys did. We think they look great with all the smoke

(we used charcoal) billowing in from the doors and filling their rooms. Get out quick boys!

Little John and Big John

Two fire fighters ( Little John and Big John) came to our school to help us to be 'firewise'.

Little John helped us to understand the difference between tools (for adults to use) and toys that are safe to play with. He read us a book about keeping safe if there is a fire at home.

Then we practised 'Get down, Get low, Get out' in the bouncy castle house.

At the Fire Station

Look at our class at the Fire Station

We went in a fire engine, squirted water from a fire hose, had a look inside the fire station and met lots of fire fighters. Look at Miss Boyd getting changed into her fire fighter's gear - the shiny tape lets people see the fire fighters easily at night or at a fire.

Thank you Miss Boyd for arranging such a fabulous trip.

Now we all want to be fire fighters when we grow up.

Prince and Princess Puddings

This week our "Big Book' was 'The King's Pudding'.

We made our own puddings. We went up to the staffroom and cooked them in the microwave oven. Then we poured custard over the top and ate them. YUM!

Justin Bieber

Justin Bieber also was in our class this week.

Matiu, we really think you look so much like Justin!

Snow White

We had a Mufti Day to raise money to support the 40 Hour Famine.

Snow White came to our class for the day.

Mother's Day Cards

Look at the lovely cards we made for our mum's to say "we love you" on Mother's Day.

Balloon Powered Cars

We loved seeing Room 3's balloon powered cars, so we decided to make some ourselves and race them. Thank you Miss Yardley and Room 3 for the wonderful idea.

Samara's Robot

Samara made a robot with wheels. What an original idea. Well done Samara!

Wheels, Wheels, Wheels

As part of our 'Wheels Unit' we made models of things that have wheels. All the wheels on our models can turn. Then we had races to see whose vehicle could go the furtherest and the fastest.

Bike Day

All the children brought their bikes to school. Constable Trish came to show us how to wear our helmets safely. Then we had fun on our bikes, learning how to ride safely around an exciting obstacle course.
