Get Firewise

Our college teacher, Miss Ross used the 'Get Firewise' Programme to teach us about Fire Safety. As a follow up, the firemen from Willowbank Fire Station came to school for 2 visits. In the first visit - we practised the things we had been learning. If children notice smoke they shout "fire, fire, fire", they get out of the house or classroom and go to their safe meeting place. If there is smoke in a room they crawl low and get out of the house or classroom shouting "fire, fire, fire " as they go. In the second visit - Miss Ross got to dress up as a fire fighter, we all had turns at squirting the fire hose and we got to have a look in the fire engine.

Value of the Term - Consideration

Look at the ways that Kindle 2 children are showing consideration:

Pet Day

Today was Pet Day at school. Kindle 1 & 2 gathered to look at each others pets. Some people brought live pets, some people brought photos of their pets and some people brought stuffed toy pets.

Rock Solid

As part of our inquiry into Dinosaurs we visited the Otago Museum. Kimberley, one of the museum teachers, talked to us about dinosaurs and fossils. She made a fossil of Noahsaurus' hand. She showed us some fossils and petrified objects. We learned about what happens when a volcano erupts, we had a dinosaur treasure hunt and did some dinosaur drama. It was great. We had some fantastic helpers too! Thanks Folks!

 Kimberley helping Noahsaurus make a fossil of his hand.

 We remembered to put up our hands when we answered questions.

Kimberley was very impressed with our knowledge of dinosaurs.

 A volcano erupting.

 Lava covering the dinosaur.

 A shell fossil.

 Petrified wood.

We all got to hold this petrified object and tried to guess what it was, can you guess?
