On Friday last week we all had a wonderful surprise when some fire-fighters arrived in Primary 2. First the fire-fighters showed us their uniform, including their helmets and breathing apparatus. Then they were able to answer all our questions about what it is like to be a fire-fighter. Finally, and best of all, we all went outside to see a real fire-engine. We were all surprised by the number of hoses a fire-engine has and how big their special scissors are. We were even allowed to climb into the fire-engine. It really was a lot of fun.
Our work on hot and cold countries is going well. We have learned that Barney Bear is going to a very cold place, Norway. We spoke about the kind of clothes you would need in a very cold place and even designed our own suitcases. Barney Bear will be writing to us to tell us about his trip.
Parent’s Evening is on Tuesday 7 February at 5.00 pm and on Wednesday 8 February at 4.00 pm. We look forward to seeing you then.
As I am sure you remember, this coming weekend is a long holiday weekend. The children will not be at school on Friday 10 February, Monday 13 February or Tuesday 14 February.
Have a fantastic long weekend.
Ms Matheson and Mrs Muir
