This week we have been learning all about the Fire Brigade and how they help our community.
.
Joseph and Lennon built their own model of a fire station. Joseph said that the fire fighters were inside the station sliding down the pole getting ready to go to the house on fire.
Tadas, Elkie and Brendan made a building which was on fire. Brendan said that the fire fighters helped put out the fire but the building collapsed. They also built their own fire station.
Lennon designed and built his own fire hose to fight the flames.
Lewis and Aayan drew pictures of fire fighters in their special uniform. Lewis was most proud of the details on the helmet.
We have been learning how to contact the emergency services and also practising our addresses.
In gym this week we have been learning how to move around the gym in different ways. We were excellent at playing follow the leader and displaying all the different ways to move. Mark said ‘ I enjoyed doing bunny hops’. Ivy said ‘I like skipping and I enjoyed being the leader!’.
This week we have been writing about what we are going to dress up as for the School Halloween Disco. Here are some examples of our excellent work.
One of the main skills we have focused on this week during busy start is cutting. Ivy and Chloe had great fun holding their scissors properly and turning the paper to help them cut straight and wavy lines.
Nathaniel has been practising threading to help his fine motor skills. We had to remember to go up and down and up and down in a pattern.
Jamielee and Rihanna have been practising writing tricky words. Jamielee said ‘ I to write on the big write board because it is cool’. Rihanna now feels confident when spelling some new tricky words.
