PET DAY.
We had a great time at pet day. Some of our class brought along calves,lambs and even a horse.

Here we are sharing time with the animals. Some of us earned certificates.
We also enjoyed participating in  craft sessions in our rooms. These crafts were judged at lunchtime.There was rock painting, hessian art and sand saucer decorating.

1.We had to draw the picture first and ensure it was coloured heavily.

2.We covered the picture in black paint.

3. When dry we scratched off the paint to create this special effect.

4. Finally we framed or artwork. 

Bus, scooter and bike safety.

Bus, scooter and bike safety.

11-15 May 2015

We have spent this week-4 working on bike safety.

We checked that we had a safe helmet and that it fitted us correctly.

We checked our bikes to see that they were safe to ride. We may have to adjust the seat height or check the tyres.

The best part was the practical sessions.

We got to practise stopping, turning and signalling when turning.

Here we are doing our practical sessions.

Many thanks to our instructors.

We also had scooters at school. We practised crossing driveways carefully.

Ronald McDonald visit.

We were able to see Ronald Mc Donald in the hall. Although Room 7 was involved with bike safety last term we were remindered about safe walking to school. Here are some Room 7 recounts about the visit. Ronald Mc Donald and the lost sock By Lana Shuker Last week Ronald McDonald came to our school. We learnt about road safety. The whole idea was to find his sock but on the way use road safety. He put up a bog book and turned the page,rip. It was a good lesson. On the way, we had to help Ronald mcDonald to cross the road. There were foursteps. Number 1 was to walk on the house side. Number 2 was how to tocross.Number 3. was to look out for sneaky driveways and 4. was cross safely on a pedestrian crossing. By then we were at school. Then Ronald McDonald turned around and the sock was on his back. It was a very good show. I enjoyed it. Ronald Mc Donald by Rady Penn Last week we went to the hall to watch a show.We learned to be road safe. The show began at his home. He went to wash his socks. .''I wonder where my sock is?''Ronald McDonald said. We went to find his sok. He said''Stop'',because there was a sneaky driveway. He havd to stop and look both ways before he crossed the raod. He crossed the road on a pedestrian crossing.We all have to stop. look and listen. Later Ronald McDonald chose James to help find his sock. It was on his back.
