Landfill and Carlucci land visit

Last week Rooms 1,2 and 3 went to the Happy Valley Landfill. We had a great day and learned lots of things about rubbish and recycling. We also went to Carlucci Land and played mini golf on the golf course.which is made out of recycled materials. In this photostory the children share all about their visit. Our student teacher Cayne made this video for us. Thank you parents for returning the recycling homework sheets. It's great to see that lots of our children's families are recycling

Safety On The Computer

This week we are learning about computer safety. In Room 2 we have computer safety rules
We ask permission to use the Computers
We only use sites that are saved on our 'favourites'
We look after our computers
We take turns using the computer
If there is a problem with the computer we leave it alone and tell the teacher
An adult is in our room when we are on the computers


Have you discussed computer safety with your children?
It is important to establish the ground rules when they are young.
Keep your computer in your living area and check the sites your children are going in to. It's good to have your computer protected by a security site that filters out unwanted sites.

Safety is Number One

We began the term learning about road safety. We practiced crossing our local Tawa streets. Then Vicki from Animal Management told us how to be safe around dogs. She told us that when a dog is chasing us we have to stand still and that if we don't know a dog we leave it alone.
