What we have been up to...

Responsible Pet Program

On Friday the 12th of August, we had Tracy and her dog Podge visit us. They taught us how to recognise the body language of a dog, what to do if an angry dog comes up to you, the safe way to meet a dog and the times when we should leave dogs alone. We were taught a song and some catchy words and actions to remember these things. 

 

 

Pyjama Day 

To finish off a very fun and exciting Week 4, we had Pyjama Day! The students loved wearing their PJ's to school and were asking if they could have a 'quick nap' all day. 

 

Ecolinc

We got to see some different kinds of insects, learn a song about their parts- head, thorax, abdomen and learn the difference between some of the different kinds of insects.
