FIREFIGHTERS TALK FIRE SAFETY

A large red firetruck pulled up outside our school and out climbed some people in blue uniforms, we became extremely excited about the visitors in dark.  Firefighters had come along to talk to us about their involvement in fighting fires and being firefighters.
We got to climb into the fire truck and the fire man talked to us about all of the different gadgets inside the truck.
Meanwhile in Room 3, Aroha and her work colleague were talking to a group of tamariki about their jobs and the special uniform that they had to wear when they fought a fire.
It was very cool!  Thanks Invercargill Fire Service.

STEEL NETBALL PLAYER READS TO ROOM 2,3 AND 4

We had a visit from Hailey Saunders last Thursday.  We were very fortunate to have her read a story to us about Grandpa.  When she had finished reading the story, we were allowed to ask her some questions.  





Hailey asked us some questions about reading and we were able to respond with good answers like how important it is to use reading strategies like re-reading, reading on and checking the pictures.  We also mentioned "think alouds".
