Pre-bell fun with Mrs Ah Chan!

On a soggy wet Friday what's a 5 year old to do before the bell!?  Well for the very fortunate A3, Mrs Ah Chan taught a few of us how to do some origami.  We were captivated by your talent Mrs Ah Chan :)

 

2014 Calendar - Wild Animal Research Challenge

Our classroom calendar has a photo of a different wild animal every month.  The challenge for those who choose to accept it is:  

Can you name the animal and where it lives?

Our 5 year old, ready researchers went above and beyond and provided lots of interesting facts as well.  Here are the entries for February's animal.

Our fabulous entries created a healthy hearty class debate over whether our calendar elephants were African or Asian.   Two entries thought Asian and four thought African.  

March

This week we presented our March animal entries.  They were very creative!  We had a variety of styles - posters, a book, and a story!  Our calendar is in the background on the right if you want to see the photo for yourself.

Congratulations Luque, Sarah, Jonathan, Samuel C and Jonny!

This entry is Jimin's.  She was away when we presented our entries, but isn't it a great one!

FireWise

Last Friday, we got some super fun visitors.  Firemen from our local fire stations came to check up on our FireWise knowledge.  They thought we had really learnt our stuff.  

If you know how to be FireWise tell us by making a comment at the bottom of this post!

We can answer the firefighters questions.

Get down, Get low, Get out FAST!

We walk calmly away from the 'fire'.

Check out what is in one side of the fire engine!

Check out what is on the other side of the fire engine!

There are all kinds of things in a fire engine. We thought the tools they have are pretty cool!

The best bit was getting to go INSIDE the fire engine!

Oooh, lots of buttons!

I wonder how many school children you could fit in a fire engine?
