Fire Station Fun!

On Wednesday 25th March, Rooms 4 and 4A went to the Lake Hawea Fire Station.
Doug, Brett and Churchy showed us around and taught us how everything works.
We learnt about fire safety in our houses, clothes and gear they have to wear, oxygen bottles, what is in the fire truck, and most exciting of all we all had a turn at squirting the fire hoses!
Thanks so much to all the parents who drove us there and back in their cars and looked after us there.

New Classrooms

The digger demolished the toilet block on Wednesday 25th March, it was so loud
that all the children came out to watch. We were amazed with its big claw.

The crane lifted the trusses onto the top of the frames. It reached up so high!

Mica the Clown

Mica the Clown came to school on Friday 13th. We especially loved watching his poodle perform tricks!

Concrete Mixer!

Today we watched the concrete being poured from the concrete mixer for the new classrooms.
The man showed us the remote control he uses to shift the pump. He held the pump while it squirted out. He also told us about the screed they used to level out the wet concrete. Most of all we loved watching the trucks!

ARE WE SAFE?

This term our Inquiry topic is 'Are We Safe?'
We enjoyed a School Trip into Wanaka on Tuesday 10th February.
We visited the Outlet Track to look at River and Bush Safety.
Road Safety was discussed at the lake front and Water safety too.
