Week 5 Term 4 2017

On Wednesday we were really lucky to have Shane visit Room 7 from the New Zealand Fire Service. Shane and his colleague Leanne were working in the Junior School , delivering the Firewise Programme.

Shane had lots of really important messages for us...

GET DOWN, GET LOW, GET OUT-FAST!

MATCHES AND LIGHTERS ARE TOOLS,NOT TOYS

SMOKE ALARMS SAVE LIVES

HEATERS ARE NOT GOOD FOR DRYING CLOTHES, ESPECIALLY WHEN CLOTHES FALL ON THEM!

DIAL 111 IN AN EMERGENCY.
KNOW YOUR ADDRESS! 

Week 4 Term 4 2017

Last week we had some help from Cara and Kathy to make some creations out of recyeled materials. We entered our creations into the Te Aroha aand P show, and some of us even won prizes. 

Mrs Finucane was very proud of our creations and thought everyone had done a great job.  It must have been very hard for the judges to decide....

Week 3 Term 4 2017

Charlie likes to bring in surprises from time to time. This week he brought in some guinea fowl eggs...
Charlie and his mum challenged us to stand on the eggs to see if we could break them.

We all thought they would break but most of us had a try and not even Mrs Finucane or Mr Byers could do it!  Even when we dropped it on concrete, the shell only cracked and we really had to throw it hard to get it to break.

Here are some photos and our class story...

Charlie brought some chicken and guinea fowl eggs today.
He found them around his house because they aren't fussy where they lay.
Charlie wanted us to step on them while they were on the grass,to see if they would break.
I stood on the egg with the ball of my foot.It hurt! It felt like a hard, smooth stone. It didnt break!
We know chicken eggs have liquid and air inside. We think guinea fowl eggs are full of liquid and no air,which makes them hard.

This week we had a visit from Ruben the Safety Bear.

He was here to remind us of some really important safety messages...

Remember to …

Seat yourself right buckle in tight

It’s safest to use a booster seat until you’re at least 148 cm tall

Helmet on right and tight.

Wear your helmet every time you ride your bike or scooter

Look out for sneaky driveways

            It is safest to play in outdoor areas that a fenced and away from                          driveways and vehicles

                  Stop look listen and link              

Choose the safest place to cross the road

 Be bright dress bright
