Earth Day

On our first week back at school, we joined boys and girls from around the world in the celebration of Earth Day.  This is a blog about what we learned and what we did.

Archie – ‘We made the word ‘Earth’ using objects from around the garden.’

Sami – ‘We made people from around the world.  We copied different clothes and their skin colour.’

Alex – ‘We made a planet Earth and we put the people around Planet Earth.’

Hazel – ‘We made sure we picked up our litter.’

Sami – ‘We did an Earth Day treasure hunt.  We painted our hand onto a world too.’

Callum – ‘We made an Earth and our hand was in the middle.  We put dots of green paint for land and then we put it on a black piece of paper.  Then we wrote about what we will do and what we wont do.  Then we put it on the wall.’

Nell – ‘We might write we would grow some flowers and not pick all the flowers.’

Ellie – ‘We watched a little video about people from around the world.’

Fire Safety Talk

Logan – I learned that firefighters wear a special fire proof scarf over their head.

Luke – I didn’t know their boots were special boots.

Ellie – I learned that they wear a helmet.

Eve – I learned that you need a special disc to find smoke in your house (smoke detector).

Olly – I learned that they put some masks on so if it is really smoky and they cant breathe, there is oxygen to help in the tanks.  A bit like divers.

Callum – I learned that they use special knives to cut through seatbelts in car crashes.

Max – Their boots have got hard toes so if something falls, their foot wont get hurt.

Sophia – They are steel toe caps.  My Daddy has got them.

Archie – I learned that firemen don’t always use water.  They sometimes use foam.

Our visit to SCAA

At last we are back up and running and I can now post some of the photos from our visit to Scone SCAA.  We had a wonderful visit with the place to ourselves and the full attention of paramedics Robin and Craig and Pilot Captain Clark.

The children got up close to the helicopter and were able to ask all their questions.  We also had the chance to try on the helmets and looked very sweet in our oversized fluorescent jackets!

We handed over our donation to SCAA and have since received a letter thanking us for this.  Thank you to all who donated.
