Kowhai Big Day Out

We got to go on the bus to get to Founders Park.
It was very exciting!






Our first activity was a ride on the train!



We got to have a turn sitting in an inside carriage and in the outside carriage.



One of the mums is an AWESOME face painter!


Our fire fighter friends brought their fire engine along...

and we practiced getting down, getting low and getting out...

and climbing out windows...


Some of us got to try on the fire fighting outfits...

We had egg and spoon races...


and 3-legged races...

which really tested our teamwork skills...

There was a bouncy castle...

and slide...

We finished off with a game of duck duck goose in the shade.

And here are even more photos of our fantastic day.
A big thank you to the parent helpers!

The Final Friday Fun Day

Last Friday we had our last Friday fun day of the year.
We dressed up.

there were fairies and princesses...


and spidermen...


We made fruit kebabs... 




 They were delicious!



and popcorn...


We had to be very patient...






Fire wise - the fire fighters visit

We had a visit from two fire fighters.
They taught us all about how to be fire safe.
We learnt how to get down, get low and get out if there is a fire in our house.



The firefighters talked to us about smoke alarms, having an escape plan and a safe meeting spot. Some examples of safe meeting spots are the letter box or the top of your driveway.
Do you have one?

Fire Wise

For the last few weeks of school we are learning about how to be firewise as our inquiry topic. When the children were asked what they think fire is, this is what they said:

It’s flames and it hurts people. It keeps cats warm because they cuddle up next to the fire.
Bella P                                       

It’s like a rainbow. It goes all different ways. It’s crazy.
Austin                                       

It’s hard stuff. It can burn you. When it’s in your home a fireman can hold off the fire.
Luca                                         

It might burn down anything.
Kayla                                      

It’s hot. It can burn down your house.
Moss                                      

It’s a hot thing that goes in a metal thing.
Arlo                                          

It burns people. It can burn a crane.
Jacob                                        

It’s yellow. It burns. It’s dangerous.
Lennox                                            

It can be red.
Esme                                         

It is about blowing the house down.

Long Jump

This week for no child left inside Jane has been teaching us about long jump.

we had to practice by jumping over the 'lazy river to start with...




We learnt how to take off on one foot
and land on two feet like we are riding a motorcycle...

 we got to try out our new skills in the long jump pit...















It was great to see so many who had really listened to Jane and tried hard to practice the techniques she taught us.
