Fire Drill at TBCS

Last Thursday we had a fire drill. We were quick and we remembered exactly what to do because we have been learning about fire safety in our Firewise unit. It was very exciting, and a little scary, to hear the fire truck come racing up to the school. "Look, Mrs Prout, it's Aaron! Aaron's here!" called Isamaeli when he saw the fireman come across the field to meet us in his fireman suit. Aaron was pleased with our response to the drill and invited Room 1 and 2 to check out the fire truck and meet the other fireman. We got to watch Miss Mansell and Miss Alley race to put on all the special clothes and boots that fireman wear. We got to try on the helmets and squirt water from the hose. It was a lot of fun and a great way to finish our day!

The Three Little Pigs

Discovery this week was inspired by the story of The Three Little Pigs. Mrs Hough found a great clip on YouTube and we built our own houses from lego, wood, PMP equipment, rulers, fabric, cardboard and wallpaper. We had tons of fun. Here is the clip and some photos of us in action.
