Dog Safety Talk

Linda came to school to talk to us about being safe around dogs.
She talked about the ABC rule:
A= Ask
Ask the owner if you can pat the dog.
B= Back
Only touch the dog on the side or back of the dog, not their head or under the chin.
C= Cherry Tree
If a dog comes near you and you feel afraid, stand like a cherry tree.
Hold your elbows, look at your feet and be very still.
Please ask your child about what they learned today about being safe around dogs.
Here are some photos for you to enjoy:

Cultural Celebration Day

Cultural Celebration Day
On Friday 17 June we had a very special day.  The children came to school wearing clothing or a costume that represented their culture or country.  We had a cultural assembly in the morning as well.
Enjoy looking at the photos:

7/8/16 Science Road Show

7/8/16 Science Road Show
Room 4 visited the Science Road Show.  It was such an exciting experience for us all.
We found out that:
*sound travels through the air by vibrations
*the higher the frequency, the higher the sound
*there is a difference in the pitch between bigger and smaller drums
*soundwaves bounce around
Then we visited a variety of science stations to learn about more science ideas.
These stations were:
measuring speed
looking at levers
gear changes
communicating by touch
the frequencies we can hear
inside your body
the power of falling water
squeezing water along
vibrations make waves
adding colours to give us a new colour
different surfaces that have different levels of friction

Here are some photos of the team that came to our school and some of the children in action:
