How fish breathe.

Today Liam brought along a fish so we could have a look at it's gills. We found out that fish breathe through their gills and get oxygen from the water. We breathe using our lungs and when we are under water we can't breathe because we get our oxygen from the air.

The whole school went to the hall and Ben Browne came to talk to us. He told us about writing books and stories. We found out that he likes to read books and to write them. His wife is an illustrator and she draws the pictures for his books. He didn't like reading until he was 9 and he read a book called Tom Sawyer.
He read us some books and Pia held the book and turned the pages to show us the pictures.

Safe Walking

On Thursday Constable Jos and Constable Teri showed us how to walk safe across the road. We learnt how to walk across the pedestrian crossing properly. We went around the block of the school.

Tractor Trek for Cancer Kids

We walked down to the beach to see all of the tractors come past. A police car with his lights on was first and then a fire engine followed by all of the tractors.
