A visit from the doctor

We had a visit from another hero that helps us, a doctor. She talked about the different types of doctors and showed us how to put on a sling. The children asked good questions such as "How did you become a doctor?", "Do you fix dog's broken legs?" and "Do you fly the helicopter?"

Making telephones

We learned to make telephones. We mades them out of pots and string. To make it work we had to speak into one end and make string wobble and the sound travel.

Superhero puppets

Yesterday we finished off our super hero puppets. We had to follow our designs and use the materials we had requested. They look great! On Friday we will use them to make a super puppet show!

Reading and following instructions

In literacy today we have been reading instructions about how to play snakes and ladders. We then got to play the game. Later in the week we will be writing our own instructions.

A visit from a nurse

This afternoon Year One were joined by one of the parents who is a nurse. She talked to the children about how she helps people and showed the children different tools she uses to do this. It was really exciting.

Sewing puppets

Last week we designed superhero puppets. Today the children have been sewing their puppets with wool and fabric.

A visit from the police

This afternoon we had a visit from the police. They talked to us about what they do in the community and how they help people. The children ask them questions and listened carefully to their answers. We even had an opportunity to put on the police clothes and use their equipment.

Book week competition reminder

Remember it is book week next week. There is a competition running to see who can create the best book mark. So far Y1S has only had two entries. I'm sure you can put your thinking hats on a come up with some 'super' designs!
And don't forget the book fair will be in the main hall after school next week!

Super hero update

Sorry there hasn't been a blog post for so long- it's a busy life being super heroes!
Here is a glimpse of what we have been doing over the last couple of weeks.
We've been reading, role playing and writing about Traction Man (and have created a great display showing some of his adventures), we've been investigating the favourite super heroes in the class and putting the data into graphs, we've been measuring length, weight and capacity, using money, and learned about miracles of Jesus. PHEW!!! It's been a very busy time and lots of fun.
We were also expecting a visit from a policeman yesterday but he had to dash off to help someone else but he will come in next week to talk to the children about how the police help us. If any parents could come in and talk to the children about how they help the community, please contact us. We love visitors!
