Week 7 Term 2 2008

We have had another very busy week at school. On Monday the community constable came to talk to us, she came with some funny hats and we had to help her find her correct hat.

On Wednesday we had an entertaining visit from Harrison’s mother Alison who is a hairdresser. She cut Harrison’s Nana’s hair for us and showed us how you can do highlights in hair using a special cap. She then sprayed some of our hair with interesting colours and sparkles – Mr Tim’s even had his hair sprayed ! Mrs Rennie-Younger had her hair straightened. Charlotte wanted to know how many colours you can put in your hair? She was delighted to hear the answer – which was as many as you like! Alison showed us all very tools and explained how she had to train to be a hairdresser.

We talked about how even as an adult you have to ‘keep trying’ when learning new skills which is just like the shared book we have had this week called ‘Keep Trying’


On Thursday we had a visit from Mike – the weatherman on T.V 3. He got people to pretend to be weather presenters. He showed us video clips of him and on Friday night he mentioned our school on the T.V – we are stars.



Our understanding of what a community is, is developing as we understand that within our community people do different jobs because no one person can be an expert at everything.

We have finally finished our labelling of the fireman using kidpix. – we are becoming increasing skilled at using the kidpix programme.

We are now drawing fire engines using kidpix. Here is Georgia’s fire engine. We will post all the fire engines when they are finished.



Below are the life cycle kidpix pictures we finished at the beginning of the term – we thought you might like to see them.

WOW, what an awesome term the kids have had. So many exciting things going on and people to meet. I hear snippets from Tony but the blog is certainly an eye opener as to what the class has been doing.
Thank you Helen.
