Fire Truck Visit

On Friday we had a visit from the Lower Hutt fire truck.  We're learning about how people in our community help us keep safe.  We looked at the Fire Truck and saw all the tools and hoses that can be used in a rescue or a fire.  The fireman dressed up in his safety gear and he even had an oxygen tank to breathe.
Most of all we enjoyed having a turn sitting in the fire truck.

PLP

We have been having so much fun in PLP.   We have been listening hard to learn new skills and we can throw, bounce, catch and bounce pass a ball.  Keep practising those skills Room 5.

We love reading in Room 5!

We have been choosing books to read to ourselves and also to read to our classmates.  Dr Suess books are a favourite.
Look at these photos to see how we are enjoying these books.

Pyjama Day

On Friday we all wore our pyjamas to school.  We were helping Zoe raise funds for her friend who has leukemia.   When children are sick in hospital they often wear their pyjamas all day.  We all spent a very comfortable day at school in our pyjamas and none of us fell asleep!
Well done Zoe.  Our class was happy to help you.

Athletic Sports

What a wonderful day we had for our athletic sports.  Room 5 really enjoyed sharing their day with their families who came to watch.  We had all practiced hard to become good runners.  Did you notice how we pumped our arms to make us run faster?  It really worked Room 5.  You are awesome athletes!

We watched the races while we waited to run.

Running in the sprints

Jumping 

Our favourite activity was the pony jumps.
