St John's Visit

We were luck enough to learn what to do in an emergency. We need to remember DRS ABC, which means:
D - Dangers (check your safety first)
R - Response ("Can you hear me?" and shake their shoulders)
S - Send for help (Ring 111 for the ambulance)
A - Airway (tilt the head back & lift the chin.
B - Breathing (look at chest & stomach, fell for breath on cheek).
C - CPR (start compressions).

We got to practice compressions on the mannequins.









 We also got to look in the ambulance, then Whaea Kat was allowed to turn the sirens on. They were very loud!

Pencils Writing Group

Pencils writing group working together to brainstorm a moment in time - Operetta.
Using the whiteboard write adjectives and phrases underneath. 
We used the adding details sheet to jog our brains.



 Lots of discussion to be had about the Operetta. 
Everyone loves using the whiteboard table.


Chilling out during Operetta.

Chilling out in between items during Operetta. 
Great to see that some kids from Room 12 are in with us too, talking and playing games. 
So many different costumes.


 Kauri students showed how they could manage themselves with so many people coming and going for different items. They still remained calm. Well done.
