Sandpit time

After many attempts - battling the weather - we managed to have a great session in the pirate sandpit.
The children worked cooperatively digging, building and creating. We had sandcastles, volcanoes, bridges, tunnels and lots of holes.
AWESOME!

Road Safety with Constable Lorena

Image
This week we had a visit from Constable Lorena who taught us all about road safety. On Tuesday we learnt how to stop, look and listen when we cross a road. On Wednedsay we learnt about how to sit safely in a car. Some of the things Constable Lorena told us about were making sure we sit in the back, making sure we have a car seat, and making sure we wear our seat belts and hear them click! Here are some photos of us with Constable Lorena's police car:

Under the Sea!

Under the Sea Over the past two weeks, Tahi Rua have been learning about different types of endangered sea animals. We joined together with Room 34 to split into three inquiry groups, where the children could choose what animal they wanted to learn about. Each group has been looking at different facts and information about their animal, including what we can do to help conserve these creatures. The three animals we focused on were maui dolphins, yellow-eyed penguins, and hawksbill turtles. Check out what we've been working on!

Come on guys, get firewise!

Today we had a visit from the West Harbour fire fighters! It was great to meet them and hear what they had to say about fire safety. They taught us that when we hear a smoke alarm, we have to get low and get out. They also reminded us to plan with our families what our safe meeting place will be once we're out of our house.  We were lucky enough to go inside the fire engine and have a look at what they keep in the storage areas on the side of the truck. Here are some photos of us with the fire engine and the fire fighters too!
