Fire Wise!



This week we have been learning about how to be fire wise at school and at home.

Doug and Stu from Hawea Fire Brigade came to tell us a few things we need to know about being safe in a fire.


We practised moving through a house that we had to pretend was on fire. This was good practise for us.


At home, maybe you could talk to others about what your fire safety plan is!

Sounds from Jerome Kavanagh





Today we were very lucky to have Jerome Kavanagh in the school talking about Maori Musical Instruments.


He told us Maori myths and legends about different living things that we have here in New Zealand that no where else in the world has. He matched his stories with instruments that he brought along. The instruments were all natural from the land of Aotearoa.


He gave us a chance to make our own Putangitangi.
