Swimming

Room 7 had our first day of swimming today. We couldn't wait to get into the water and show off what we can do. We learnt how to get into the water safely. We sang 'Ring a Ring a Rosy' and put our heads under the water. Tomorrow we are working on blowing bubbles. The water was a bit cold  but we sooned warmed up after we got moving.

Meet the Stars in Room 7

To our Mums and Dads,

We had a busy fun day at school!

We sang and danced to a song called 'Shake the Sillies Out'. This is a very funny song.

Please help us to get our togs ready for school tomorrow. Remember we need to put our names on them so they don't get lost.

Welcome

Wow! Welcome back to school for 2014.  I am super excited about starting the term. I had a wonderful holiday, relaxing, reading, seeing family and friends and I did lots of jobs around my house. I wonder what the children in Room 7 did on their holiday? Make sure you have something to share with me on day 1. I can't wait to hear about what you got up to.
Term 1 is going to be very busy and full of lots of fun. Keep looking at the blog to see what we have been up to and what is happening throughout the term.
See you all on Monday!

-Hold our pen the right way
-Start our letters in the right place
-Sit our letters on the line
-Keep our letters close together in a word

Well done Natala and Matthew

Fireman Visit

Today two fireman came to visit Room 7 to teach us about fire safety. We shared what we have learnt with them and then we practiced how to safely leave our classroom when there is a fire. We had to get down, get low and get out - fast and we had to shout 'fire, fire, fire' as we walked quickly to our safe meeting place. The fireman talked to us about their very important job of putting out fires and how they keep safe in a fire.

Thank Mr Darling and Mr Thomas for helping us to learn how to be safe in a fire.

Thank you to all the parents who have spent time discussing their fire safety plan with their children.
