ThingLinks

Connor worked very hard making this Thinglink about dinosaurs. Well done Connor.



Sasha made a Thinglink about a story she read, and puppets she made with our lovely parent helper, Sheena.


The Thinglink app has been a big hit in our class this week!

Suzy from St Johns Ambulance says "Call 111 in an emergency."

Yesterday we had a visit from Suzy at the St Johns Ambulance service.  She taught us all about the very important things that the ambulance service does in our community and how they help us.  She told us about the different kinds of emergency services and how each one can help us.

Suzy talked about what kind of emergency services we might need and when we needed to call 111 and when we didn't.

Suzy asked some of us to volunteer trying on the uniform.  Suzy explained how the uniform helps to keep people protected and safe.

Suzy showed us all some of the equipment that we might see in an ambulance.  It was very interesting looking and holding the breathing mask, bandages, gloves and stethoscope.

Some of us had a go at pretending to phone 111.  We learnt some of the things the emergency operator will ask us if we ever need to ring in an emergency.  Some of the things that we need to know are...

What is your address?
What is your phone number?

Tell me what happened?

It would be wonderful if students could please practise this at home as it is so important that children are able to say their address, phone number and full name.

At the end of the session, Suzy let all of those people who wanted to, to try on the uniform.  Maybe we have some future Ambulance Officers in the making?

A visit from Tilly the puppy!

Today in Rm 12 we had a very special visitor.  Mr Robinson let his beautiful puppy, Tilly, visit our class. It was a big surprise for everyone!

Tilly loved all of the cuddles and pats from everyone.  We were careful to let her sniff our hands first and we were all very good at being calm and quiet so that she knew that we were friendly.

Room 12 wrote some lovely stories about the visit.  She was a great inspiration for our writing today.

An important part of writing is to know that there is a purpose to our writing.  Many students enjoyed sharing their writing with the class and read their stories in front of an audience.

We all hope that Tilly comes back soon.  Thank-you Mr Robinson for letting her visit Room 12 today.
