Evacuation training

Today in the middle block Room 18 went to the hall to be trained on how to do an evacuation and lock down. We saw this lady called Julie then she told us what we should do when there is a earthquake, flood and a fire or if there is a earthquake. We learnt that in a lock down we should wait until three of the teachers called Mr Gower or Mrs Winters or Mrs Dinnisen come and tell us we are safe. We practised this in the last block today.

Our Personal Reviews

We have started to do our personal reviews. Our personal reviews are something that we do every term. In our personal reviews we write about our goals and what we have done in reading, writing and maths. We then take them home to share with our parents at the end of every term. In our class the year 6's do it first so they can support the Year 5's when they have finished. The year 5's that aren't doing their personal review do a rotation of writing there poem where we write about what peace looks like, smells like, tastes like, feels like and sounds like.

Beach clean up

Today the year 5/6 kids from Beachlands School went to Pine Harbour for the beach clean up. We walked to the beach beside Pine Harbour. We had an awesome time cleaning up the beach. We found a lot of rubbish. There was all sorts of things such as wood, plastic, tubes, glass, bottles, metal & concrete.

We were there for about an hour. Some of our parents came to help out for the day. We were paired up with the parents & other teachers.Some of the kids went out to the end of the point were there was only a rock breaker. The teachers had the first aid kit & they wore bright yellow jackets so we knew were they were. They also gave us some gloves so we didn't get everything on our hands.
