Handwashing Afternoon

We have brainstormed how we think we should wash our hands and we have looked at some charts on websites and in books. Then it was time to try it out! We painted our partners hands so that we had some 'dirt' or 'germs' to wash off. We found that it takes lots of water and soap and TIME to make a good job. We had a lot of fun too!

Rainbow Day at school





Can you guess what colour we were for this special day? Yes! Orange! It was such a fun day and we took a lot of photos. Mr Reed climbed up on the roof of Rooms 9 and 10 to take a photo of the whole school because we had made a rainbow altogether.

skeleton dance

Vicki the bone expert visits us.






Vicki is Ryan's mum and she is a radiographer. She came to share what she knows about bones and that is a lot. We loved her bone suit and she even took a pretend xray of McKenzie's hands. Vicki was able to answer our wonderings about bones and she helped us to get to know so much more about them. What would you like to ask us? Would you like to wear a suit like this one? It was so cool! We made our own skeletons in class and we knew just where to put all the bones. We have Jim the skeleton in our room from Vicki and it helped us heaps. Thank you Vicki!
