Police Visit

We have learnt a lot about Emergency Services and knowing how to be safe. We have just had a visit from Devin's Grandad, Senior Constable Russell Smith. He told us about all the jobs the police have to do and made sure we knew that their only job isn't to catch the baddies! He showed us a police car and even put the siren and lights on for us. We liked that!

This is what a speeding ticket looks like,(just in case you have never seen one!!

St John's Visit

On Monday we had a visit from Kathryn, a paramedic, from St. Johns to teach us about being safe and how to help if someone is hurt. She also showed us what it is like inside an ambulance and let us see the oxygen tank, the nebuliser and stethoscope. We had a lot of fun trying to put bandages and slings on each other. Poor Mrs O'Malley could hardly walk!!

Water Fun

Last Wednesday we had lots of fun and lots of wet children when we had our Water Fun Day. There were six activities for the children to do: bucket relay, sponge throwing at funny-faced teachers, limbo under the hose, bubble fun, ice cube relay and sprinkler fun with umbrellas. We were also allowed to have our big sprinkler pod operating for a while and it was great fun to run past, trying not to get wet as the sprinklers turned around.

Study Ladder on Laptops

We have been using a programme called Study Ladder on our laptops at school recently. We have a selection of maths and reading activities, which are great for practising skills learnt at school.

You can also use this at home if you want to. A note will come home this week with your child's password should you want to do this.

Hydrangea Paintings

Our paintings are finally on the wall so please come in and have a look. This year we tried pink hydrangeas as well as blue ones. See what you think!

Hockey Skills

Today we had our final hockey session and we played some games. We played "Creep Up Granny" and "Follow the Leader". Claudia, our coach, even led us around the playground! What a funny place to do hockey!
