Poem Writing



This term we have been learning how to write poems. It has been a lot of fun and we wanted to share one we wrote as a whole class. To write this poem we watched a video of lambs playing out in the sunshine and talked about what they looked like and how they moved. The children are enjoying this form of writing.

Firemen Visit


On Friday last week we had the pleasure of the company of two firemen, who came to talk to us about what do if there was a fire in our homes. Kevin Donaldson from the Fire Service and Dwin Bishop from our local Fire Brigade visited with us. They talked about the importance of having a safe meeting place in case of a fire. We watched a short DVD that showed how fast a fire will spread from an unattended candle under some curtains. The children were amazed at how fast the fire spread and how the cutain melted.

We have been learning about fire safety all week and this helped the children understand how important it is to have a plan just in case. It was a great visit and we all learnt alot.
