Firefighter Visit

The firefighters came to our school.  We learnt about good and bad fires.  Good fires are safe fires when Mum and Dad are there.  Bad fires are like bushfires or when a Mum or Dad is not there.  We learnt about Get down low, go, go, go.  We say that if there is a fire.  They also bought in a smoke alarm.  Every house should have one.  We saw the uniform.  Miss Hull had to put it on.  She said it was very heavy wearing the oxygen tank and it felt strange to breathe through the mask.  Next time the firefighters will show us the firetruck.

rED Writing

This week we have been using the app rED Writing to practice our handwriting on the iPads.  It is a really fun app and we can earn stickers when we form the letters correctly.  There are lots of different ways to practice.  Miss Hull is excited because this app is Australian and uses the Victorian Cursive Print that is used at school.  It even has an Australian voice!

                                       

Walk-a-Thon

We had a great day! We did the Walk-a-Thon today. We did so many laps and got lots of stamps. We got a stamp everytime we did a lap. We raised lots of money for our school. We will be able to get some really good prizes. We are so lucky that the sun was shining. We even got hot while we were walking and took our jumpers off.

In our classrooms we counted the number of laps we had done and compared that to our friends.  We made a graph.

Maths with the Class Teddy

We have 18 children in our class but sometimes a person is away.  We then have an odd number of children in our class and somebody misses out when we do partner work in Maths.  Instead of working in a 3 which can be tricky for some games somebody gets to be partners with a class teddy.  We all take it in turns working with the class teddy.  Sometimes the class teddy even wins the games we are playing!

Word Work with the app Show Me

We are using the app Show Me to help us practise our coloured words.  We write our words in any colour we want and then record our voices saying the words.  The app is really easy to use and we know how to save our work and put our name on it. 

It's taking a while to upload videos at this stage so here is a sample of the work we have done and hopefully Miss Hull can upload more soon.

Birthday Thanks

 

I just wanted to say a huge thank you to the parents and students of Prep H for the lovely surprises on my birthday.  I really appreciated the beautiful flowers, cards, gifts and the delicious cake that you all spent time organising.  Thank you for making my day so special.
