What has been happening in 3/4C!
We have had a busy start to Term 2 in 3/4C! We are fully into the swing of things, working hard together and learning lots of new things. Here are some of the things we have been up to so far this term.
St John's First Aid Incursion
St John's Ambulance came to visit the 3/4s to run a first aid session. During the session with Sam we learnt about the importance of First Aid and what to do in an event of an emergency. It was a very informative session and we all learnt a lot. We know that we can all help someone in need.
"We got to learn how to help someone if they are unconscious." - Penny
"We learnt about DRS ABCD which is what we follow to help someone." - Isla
"We were taught how to clear someone’s airways so they can breathe." - Liam
"I liked how we were taught what to do when someone is on the ground unconscious. We also learnt about DRS ABCD." - Evie
"The first aid session was interesting and I learnt how to clear someone's airway." - Jessie
"I learnt what I can do to help when someone is not breathing. We also learnt who we could call for help." - Victoria
John Hannah Hostel Visit
This week we got to meet up with the residents of the John Hannah Hostel to do an activity. We listened to the story of Anzac Ted and then listened to Bob, one of the residents, share some stories and show us some letters and photos from family members that fought at war. Then we created our own Anzac Ted. We enjoyed our time together with the residents and it was great to see their smiling faces.
"I had really good time seeing the residents of John Hannah Hostel because I got to speak to other people and they are caring." - Esther
"We had a great time with Bob because he told us stories which were entertaining." - Jacob
"We got to learn more about Anzac Day and listen to the story of Anzac Ted." - Nyapaar

"I had fun getting to know the residents from the Johan Hannah Hostel. The activity was lots of fun." - Hayley
"I sat next to Judy who I remember sitting next to last year when we saw the residents from the hostel. I enjoyed doing the Anzac Ted colouring in with them." - Giorgiana
"I loved spending time with the residents of the hostel because it reminded me of my grandma and spending time with her." - Shae
Maths - Length, Area and Perimeter
Our maths unit at the moment is length, area and perimeter. We are learning how to measure length, area and perimeter and how to use different tools to measure. We have been doing a lot of practising using rulers, tape measures and trundle wheels to measure different items. One of our favourite activities so far was going outside and measuring how far we could jump. We estimated our jumps first and then worked in partners to measure them. We love doing hands on activities to help us learn!
