Health nurse visit

The public health nurse came to see us today. She talked to us about staying healthy.

We learned to brush our teeth twice a day. In the night time before we go to bed and in the morning after we eat our breakfast.

We learned how to blow our nose. It is really important we blow out our nose and not our mouth! That can be tricky!
It is also important to blow one nostril at a time into a tissue.

When we wash our hands we have to remember to rub between our fingers and our thumbs and then rinse off all the soap. It is really important to dry our hands well!

We also learned to cough into our sleeves, not into our hands!

Thinking Hats!

Last week we were looking at the Red Thinking Hat. When we have the red hat on, we think about how we are feeling about the problem or issue.

We brainstormed all the different feelings we have and then did some writing about them. This is what we came up with!

excited, nervous, sad, lonely, happy, angry, jealous, worried....

Dogs, dogs, dogs!

Today we had a visit from from Mrs MacDonald. She is from the City Council and she works for Dog Control.

We learned about how to be safe around dogs.

She bought her dog called Switch. She was cool and she had two different coloured eyes! She was a kind and careful dog. She let us pat her.

This is what you should do if you want to pat a dog.

1 Ask the owner first.

2 Let the dog sniff your hand. Your hand should be in a fist not flat. Flat hands are easy to bite!

3 Pat the dog under his chin and on his chest.

These are some of the things we learned.

If a dog is running at you, you should stay still and fold your arms.

When a dog sniffs you it is saying hello!

Some dogs have to wear a muzzle.

We really liked hearing about how to be safe and we really liked Mrs MacDonald and her dog Switch!

Hello World!

Miss Little would like to say a big sorry to everyone for how late this first blog entry is! We have had a great 3 weeks at school already - it has all zoomed by so fast!

We have really enjoyed singing and dancing and being film stars for the day at Pickled Possum Studios. It was for a programme called KidZone and we sang a song called Great Big Wheels. It was very hot under the bright lights and we had to sing the song lots of times.

We drew around our bodies and decorated them to look just like us. We hope you like the pictures.

We Love Pixie Town!

We went to Pixie Town at the Early Settlers Museum. The Pixies were really old. Some of our Mums and Dads could remember looking at them when they were kids!

Some of the Pixies moved. They had big feet and looked a bit funny!



The boys got to ride on the sleigh. Miss Little liked Regan's big cheesy grin!




We made cards and wrote a message to Santa. We even got to post the cards to him in a special letter box. we really hope he can write back to us.




There were some cool dress ups there as well. You could dress up as elves or reindeer or even Santa!

Miss Little got a big cuddle from one of Santa's special helpers!

Pet Day Extravaganza

On Friday we had our Pet Day.
There were dogs, cats, a lamb, rabbits and soft toys! Riley Bell was going to bring his pet snail but it died!



We played some games while the pets were being judged!


Chewy came and did some tricks for us!
