Fire Wise Visit

As part of our Firewise Study, Te Atau Fire department came to visit our class.

We learnt a lot about match and lighter safety.

We learnt how to get out of our houses in the case of a fire - and a safe meeting place
  -  The Letterbox

Highlights were seeing the fireman all dressed up-




and - of course - the Fire Engine

We need some learning areas in our classrooms.

The colours were blue. 
The colours were swirling. 
The colours were
erupting.

beautiful.

I liked the milk experiment. 
It was beautiful and I liked it so much. 
It was colourful. 
I saw it glow in the dark.

When the dish wash went onto the green it exploded.
When the oil went in to the colours it went colourful like the sky.
