Firefighters Visit

Today we had very special visitors at our school. Firefighters came to speak to the children about getting firewise. They talked about what to do if there is a fire and how to prevent fires. They also talked about the importance of having a smoke alarm. Afterwards the children looked at the fire engine and the firefighters showed some of their tools. They were very interested and had a great time while learning important skills.

Making Pizza! Yum!

This week the children in Room 1 and 2 worked together to make pizza! Yum!

The children have been learning about fractions and making pizzas and cutting them into equal slices was a great way to practice what they are learning about.

We made four pizzas and we needed a total of 32 slices. In order to work out how many slices the pizzas had to be cut into the children got into four groups - one for each pizza. When each group had the equal number of 8 children they knew that each pizza had to be cut into 8 slices.

                                                 

Making pizza was a great learning experience. The children really enjoyed making it, and of course eating it too !:)
