Fire Station Visit - Maata

For our inquiry we have been focusing on our community and how the Emergency Services help us.  Yesterday we were lucky enough to visit the Mt Wellington Fire Station. We began our visit with the Fire Officers speaking to us about Fire Safety. We then went outside and were shown around the Fire Truck. It was very interesting to see all the tools kept on the fire truck and learn about what some of them were used for. We were extremely lucky to get to see the firemen using the spreader and cutter tools to cut the windscreen, doors and roof off a car. This was awesome to see. Thank you to the Firemen at the Mt Wellington Fire Station for making this possible.

Police Men Police Dog

Yesterday Panmure Bridge School had a visit from the Police Helicopter. It was very exciting seeing the helicopter land on the field. It was really interesting to learn that the helicopter had a camera on the front. We were also extremely lucky to get to see the police dog and hear about the ways that the dogs help the Police. Thank you to Constable Cyrus for making this happen for us.

Maata Fireworks - Safety Rules

I have created this DLO to remind people of ways they can keep safe on Fireworks night. It shows some basic rules to follow so everyone can enjoy fireworks without getting hurt. 

Sharing a message with our Community

This week our focus has been sharing a message with our Community. We created this DLO to share a message with our school community about how to look after our teeth. Our DLO was for children in the junior school so we used words and pictures that would make it easy for them to understand.   

Film Festival

Yesterday was the 10th year of the Manaiakalani Film Festival for all the schools. Our Panmure Bridge School have created 4 movies to show the Manaiakalani Film Festival. Our Panmure Bridge School watched PT England and Tamaki Primary School movies. I really did enjoyed watching those movie. All of them are very interesting to watched. After that we were commenting on each school blog movies. Hopefully we all had fun watching other school movie. 

Emergency Services

For Inquiry we have been learning about Emergency Services and what we need to do, and who we need to call in an Emergency. This DLO shows that we would need to call an Ambulance if someone is badly injured. It also explains how we need to speak on the phone and some of the information that is needed for the operator. 

Badminton Kiwi Sport

Today for Kiwi Sports with Kevin, we were learning how to grip the racket for forehand and backhand, and how to control our swing and the direction of the shuttlecock. We began by practising volleying the shuttlecock on our rackets. Then we had to get a partner and one person threw the shuttlecock and the other person had to try and hit it back to them.  We then had a rally with our partner to see how many times we could hit it back and forward to each other. We also learnt about the stance to use when moving towards the shuttlecock.
