First Aid at Woodbank

Today Bronwyn from St Johns came and taught us how to keep safe and help people in an emergency. Jessica learnt how to call for an ambulance on the telephone - we dial 1 1 1 slowly and ask for the service we need. Stephanie learnt how to keep safe by putting a bandage on someones hand. Hannah learnt to put a burn under cold water for 20 minutes. If the burn is bigger than your hand you need medical help now! Amelia learnt it is important to keep the patient calm and reassure them.
Zoe learnt how to manage her bleeding noses by holding the bottom of her nose and putting her head forward.
Amelia has fake blood on her hand. She needed to put some pressure on her hand to stop the bleeding. Then Bronwyn bandaged it with the big pressure pad still there.

Healthy Lunches

Today Linda (the Public Health Nurse), came and made a healthy lunch with us. We had tomatoes and lettuce and ham sandwiches, and some oranges and bananas. We mixed apricot with cream cheese and put it in fruit bread - yum.

We changed our day around a wee bit so we got our reading done before Linda came. We had lunch a wee bit earlier and came back for cross country training a wee bit earlier too. We all went further than yesterday.

It was an even lovelier day than yesterday.

Sarah B

This morning Sarah Beardmore taught us while Mrs King and Mrs Nimmo did some planning together. We learnt how to skip doing double dutch with 2 ropes. Man we are good. We did some winter poems too. Jessica read "We Go Out" with Sarah.

Tuesday's news

Thank goodness Stephanie is back. Here she is. We said yesterday that we would put her photo on, and here she is!

Thank you for all the comments. We have a mystery comment person called "JUMP". Do you know who it is? We cannot possible share our strawberries with a mystery person.

We did our 2nd day of cross country training - puff, puff! We all managed to get a bit further today.

Monday

Today Stephanie has returned from having the chicken pox. Welcome back Stephanie. This week Zoe is the special person because she has been kind to the other class members. Today we did writing and handwriting for our portfolio. We also wrote new goals for Term 3. It is a lovely, sunny warm day at last! Yahoo!.

About Friday

We really enjoy reading people's comments on our blog. Keep writing great comments for us to read. Today we had a finishing off day and finished our Dr Suess pictures. Amelia is painting her life size picture of herself because she was away when we did ours. We finished off our learning style questionnaire so we know how best we learn AND we made museli and honey muffins. This afteroon, in the not very nice weather, we tidyed up our garden and planted some new polyanthus and something else and now we have forgotten it's name. But there is a pretty blue one and a white one. Our garden looks heaps better now. We split up all our strawberry plants as well so hopefully in the summer we will have strawberries every day. Yum yum!
Poor Stepahnie still has the chicken pox so we hope she gets better over the weekend and is back to school on Monday. Please DON'T let anyone else get the chicken pox.

About Mrs King

Mrs King is a lovely teacher and we have done some fantastic gymnastics - doing springs and landings. We wrote a story about what we knew about the sun. For maths we read the calenders.

Wednesday's fun

Today Val came to teach us some things about the environment and we played a game and we had to ask everyone else questions to work out who we were. It was about the food chain. We are going to do an environmental plan for our school.

Jessica

This is Jessica Rose who was not at school yesterday. Stephanie is also away with the chicken pox. Poor Stephanie. We will introduce Stephanie to you all when she comes back to school.

swing time

Today we had Jocelyn to visit us and we learnt how to make a blog. We are going to try and write something every day and look at other schools blogs. Our parents can look to see what we have done at school.

During the holidays we were really lucky because Zoe's Dad made us a swing at school. Unfortunately Hannah got hit in the knee today and she will have a bruise! Poor Hannah. It was too low so Zoe's Dad will come back and put it up. Thanks Zoe's Dad and Ash (that's Zoe's big brother).
