ROC day

On Friday we had ROC (Respect our community) day. A day to celebrate the lovely environment we live in. We joined in craft and sport activities as well as discussed about being a safe passenger in a car.

Here are some photos of us on ROC day.

FIre fighters

Today we had a visit from the fire fighters from Takapuna fire station. They were so impressed that we knew how to firewise. We told them
- that matches are tools not toys
- if we find matches we will give them to an adult.
- smoke does not have any sound so that is why we need smoke detectors in our homes
- if we hear a smoke detector - we have to get out FAST and not stop to pick up favourite toys, pets e.t.c.
- if there is smoke - we have to get down low and get out FAST

We watched fire fighter Troy get into all of his fire gear- They timed him and it took him 55 seconds. We were all very impressed. When he goes into a fire, fire fighter also gets down low.

Planting seeds

As November is 5 plus a day month - we decided to plant some seeds, so we could watch them grow.
Planting seeds was a lot of fun.

Art exhibition

Every second year at Sunnybrae Normal School we put on an art exhibition where everyone in the school has a piece of art work put on display in the hall. It is always a fantastic display and this year was no exception. We enjoyed looking at our own work and the work of others - see the photos below

A visit from Bruce Potter

Today we had a visit from Bruce Potter an author and illustrator. He sang songs to us, drew characters and made us all laugh. It was a great way to start Term 4.
