Life Education

This week we have visited the Life Education caravan. Our first lesson was like a train journey around the Circulatory System as we hunted for Harold the giraffe who was somewhere in the Circulatory System. We travelled around the body learning about the organs but didn't find him until this afternoon. He was very tired after his journey but pleased to see us again. We love catching up with Harold every year and learning about how we can stay healthy and happy.

Thank you Kathleen for making the lessons fun and interesting.

 

St John Safe Kids

S24 have been learning what to do in a medical emergency. They have practised using a phone to dial "go-one-go-one-go", and know to ask for the ambulance.

The children know that they need to take two deep breaths before dialling. In the photos they are giving their full name address (including the area e.g. Kaiapoi) and describing the problem - using a calm, clear voice. 

Maddy was the model with fake blood on her arm. We learnt how to clean a wound, dry it and cover the scratch with a plaster.

Our Visit to the Groynes

We visited the Groynes to study the wildlife and the plants. We found lots of the plants we had been learning about before our trip.

Sports Spectacular 

We participated in a day of sport and fun at Southbrook Park, with around 600 Year 3/4 children from Waimakariri schools.  There were many volunteers to help us learn and enjoy the games such as football, cricket, korf ball, uni hoc, tug of war, parachute fun and many others.

Welcome to our new blog. 

Studio 24 children outside the Community garden
We are ready to help in the Community Garden. Lesley Ottey helped us understand how to make compost and how it helps in the garden to make vegetables and fruit grow. We helped fork the compost into the bin beside it. In the compost there was a skink which is a sign of healthy compost. We are looking forward to Lesley Ottey coming again to help us learn about the 'R' - Reduce, Reuse, Recycle and Repair. This will help us understand the 'Impact' we can make on our environment. Some of us are helping to pick up leaves from around our studios. Our school has beautiful deciduous trees so Autumn is a time of change as the leaves fall.
