Clued up Kids

On Wednesday morning the year 6's went to the Recreation Centre for a health and safety course called Clued Up Kids.

We learnt a lot of new things that we will use in the future. There were 10 stations which included fire safety, dog safety, earthquake safety, beach safety, quad bike safety, firearm safety, bike and helmet safety and relax Kids.

We rotated around all the activities during the morning.

The food was yummy sandwiches and fruit to take home.

We came home with pamphlets and a pack for the teacher to teach the class about safety.

It was a great opportunity to learn a variety of ways to keep ourselves safe.
Thank you to the organisers.

Book Celebration Week

This week we have been celebrating books in a variety of ways. We have read fairy tales and written letters about the characters in the fairy tales to the editor. We have also studied various authors such as Joy Cowley, Margaret Mahy and we have to find out information about a New Zealand author. Today we had a dress up day as a character from a book we know and love. There were 3 'Cat in the Hat's' lots of animals, a few witches, a Harry Potter and a bunch of other imaginative characters!
