The Harewood Firefighters Visit Oaklands School Tuesday 19 November 2013

We were reminded never to play with matches and lighters.
Candles should always be in a candle holder. We should all have at least one smoke alarm in our house. If we hear the beep beep beep of a smoke alarm we should
GET DOWN GET LOW GET OUT.
We practised GET DOWN GET LOW GET OUT
Fire Officer Mark was very impressed with our Be Firewise Knowledge 
We heard all about being a Firefighter and how to stay safe.

The Fire Truck was Impressive!

Emma was rescued from a burning building!

We all received our FIREWISE Safety Certificates Today.

Room 23's Garden Update 6th November 2013

Our Broad Beans are doing really well. We have all
eaten some and taken a pod home.

WOW! Look at our cabbages!

We took out all our cabbages to make
way for our peas.

We were all impressed with the size of our cabbages

We took turns to plant some peas.



We are hoping we will be able to pick some peas
before the end of the term.

It was exciting to be able to take back
our cabbages to the classroom.
We felt very proud of ourselves.



Mrs Winton cut up our cabbages so we could
all take a fraction of a cabbage home to eat.
Well done Room 23. It looks like we
all have Green Fingers. Ka Pai!

Will's Grandad Mr Bill Holvey visited us in  Room 23

Many Thanks Mr Holvey
