The Police Car



Last Thursday Room 4 got to go and view the Police Car. We looked at all the different things that police carry with them to keep safe. These included:
  • Baton
  • Torch
  • Protective Vest
  • Handcuffs
  • Rain Jacket/High Vis Road Coat
  • Hat/Gloves
  • Radio
  • Ticket Book
  • Police Badge
We got to hear the sirens and watch the flashing lights. Miss McLeary had to wear the police vest and hat!

Mica the Clown!



Everybody loved watching Mica the clown last Friday. The colourful clown displayed some amazing magic and tricks. We also got to meet his special helper, Poppy. Some of our favourite acts included the magic balls, juggling, Poppy, and the balloon animals. At times we needed to help Mica the Clown with his magic by pointing in the air and shouting "Abracadabra!"

What's that Noise?!




It has been very busy this term outside Room 4's window. Lots of interesting noises and machinery at work. We are getting very excited about the two new classrooms at school and we can't wait until they are finished. We are enjoying watching each stage of the building process.

Are we Safe?




Room 4 have been very lucky to have had special visitors in the classroom to talk to us about keeping ourselves safe. They got us thinking about what things we need up the mountain such as good food, water, warm clothing, good footwear, hats and gloves. We had a policeman in to talk to us about the right kind of touching and secrets. Our visitors got us wondering about all sorts of things and we had lots of questions to ask them.
