Firemen Visit

On 26 June we had a visit from the firemen.  They showed us all the gear that they need to wear when they are fighting fires.  One of the children in our class got to look like a fireman!!
Then we went to the fire engine and the firemen showed us all the equipment they use on the fire truck.  
The children really enjoyed the visit.

Nikki from the ASB

Nikki came to visit Room 4, she is from the Auckland Savings Bank.  Nikki talked to the children about what the coins and notes look like and they put them in order from the smallest to the largest amount.  She then talked about needs and wants and she taught them to speed to your needs and wait for your wants.  The children discussed the importance of saving money.
Here are some photos you may enjoy looking at:

Wacky Hair and Hat Day

What an exciting day.  The children came to school with wacky hair or they wore a wacky hat.
We went to assembly with our wacky look and had a great time.
Enjoy looking at the photos

Visit from Matt the Fireman

On Wednesday 17 June Matt came to school to talk about being firewise.  He talked about the importance of having a very special meeting place if you need to get out of your house fast.  Matt mentioned that the letterbox was a great place to meet.  
Please talk to your child about the visit and ask them what they learned, I am sure you will be very impressed with their knowledge.
Each child took home a booklet called  'Get Firewise Family Book' to work through at home.
