Cinquain Poems by Matthew, Eden and Rio

Matthew, Eden and Rio have recorded their cinquain poems about their Wild Things

There were Strange Things Lurking in the Sunnybrae School Bush...

After school, strange noises were heard coming from our school bush.
Our teacher was working in the classroom when one of the neighbours phoned her and told her about the strange noises. Our teacher went down to see what all the fuss was about.
Guess what she discovered...
Wild Things!

Safety Rules in the Playground

Today we visited the Life Education caravan again. We talked about safety rules and keeping ourselves safe in the playground. We talked about the safety rules in these pictures:
we could see children waiting for their turn and using equipment properly, children watching and not standing too close, there is a safety mat on the ground and children helping others who may not be confident on some equipment.

Life Education

This week we have had the Life Education caravan at Sunnybrae School.
We learned about some of body parts and their function and also about the importance of keeping healthy. We learned that there are 9 things that our body needs to stay fit and healthy, they are:
1. Water
2. Food
3. Oxygen
4. Exercise
5. Sleep
6. Daily Washing
7. Safety
8. Shelter
9. Love

Booster Rooster's Safety Message

On Wednesday, Booster Rooster and the Polka Dots shared an important safety message about using a booster seat in the car. We learned that children are safest when they sit in a booster seat until they are 148 cms tall because, the higher you sit, the safer the fit.
