Beach Trip

Wahoo! We had the best day ever at the beach. We all piled on the bus and drove to Foxton Beach. It was a long way and a very noisy bus trip. When we arrived at Mrs Davies beach house we had some morning tea to fill our puku's so we had lots of energy for the day ahead. Then we set off on an adventure through the sand dunes. We had the best time running, jumping, rolling and sliding up and down the sand dunes. We then headed to the beach. We had a sand sculpture competition, played games and had some play on the beach. After lunch we went on an adventure through the enchanted forest. We saw a hut and we climbed some trees. Mr Davies took us to the highest sand dune at Foxton Beach. Mr Davies challenged us to a race. Guess who won?..........Mr Davies did. Mrs Lynch is going to give him a rematch! At the end of the day we were all exhausted and some of us even had a wee snooze on the bus!

Thank you to all the parents for helping make this trip such a wonderful experience for the children. Also thank you to Mr and Mrs Davies for letting us use their beach house.

 

Firewise

Today Mr Darling came to our class to teach us about fire safety. We watched a DVD and the curtain caught on fire because the candle was too close to the curtain. He showed us a smoke alarm and we learnt about how important these are to have in our homes. How many do you have in your home? Get your child to count them and then come and tell me tomorrow.

We practiced an evacuation. When there is a fire we need to: GET DOWN! GET LOW! GET OUT! - FAST, shouting FIRE! FIRE! FIRE! We had to crawl underneath a sheet (smoke) and then walk fast to our safe meeting place. Where is your safe meeting place at home?

Thank you for all your support at home with this unit.
