Room 4's Guide To First Aid

In this recout you will hear about St Jonn coming to teach Room 4 how to save a person's life.
Paula from St Jonn first taught us what to do if a person was on the floor , unconscios and
there were no adults around . First you would check for danger. (eg, knives on the floor, oven
open, hot pans.) Next you would check for response. Put your hands gently on their shoulders
and shake them softly , then a bit more firm. If they do not respond they are unconscios.
To check if  they are breathing ,tilt their head back gently and put your ear to their mouth .
Then put your hand gently on their tummy . Do this for 10 seconds. If you hear them breathing
they are alright. (There are a  just  a  few more steps to do.)   Next put the arm closest to you away from you . Then grab the shoulder furtherest away from you and then bend the knee furtherest away
from you . Grab the kneecap with one hand and pull the person onto their side. If the person throws up it is ok . Call 1.1.1 ( and it will be ok.) It made me feel proud because I do St Jonn and they get to
learn first aid.          By Lily-Rose.

ANZAC Biscuits

Today we made ANZAC biscuits as a fun way to engage with our learning in reading. For the past two weeks we have been reading about ANZAC Day and World War One. We have been learning about how we remember the war with poppies and parades on ANZAC Day, what the causes of the war were and learning about the poetry that was written in response to the war.

It has been interesting learning about how we remember the war and the importance of knowing what happened in it. We have read articles, stories and watched videos to discover facts about New Zealand's involvement in the war and how we remember it. We have also made pic collages about Red Cross parcels and written letters to reflect our learning.

                

 

Bird feeders

Last Friday Miss Greer made some bird feeders with a group of Room 4 students who had been building nests in the domain. They were made from peanut butter, kremelta and bird seed. It was great to have some hands on fun, although the feeders were very messy to make!

 

 
     

Dazzling illustrated Dictionaries

Last Thursday Richard and David from Avonhead Rotary (who also help to fund Duffy books in our school) came to give Room 4 illustrated dictionaries. These will come in handy for our spelling, word work in reading and writing. The children are loving using these in class.
