Cooper

Hi Cooper families,

We had quite an exciting week in the Cooper room this week. On Tuesday we were lucky enough to have a special visit from Hamish’s Dad and Tim who brought in an Ambulance to show the children. The children were able to go inside the ambulance and see where “the sick people go to get to the hospital”. The children had so much fun lying in the patients beds, sitting in the drivers seats and even sliding down a slide on the back of the ambulance. 

After the visit we spoke about what ambulances do and the important job that we have. These were some of the children’s responses:
Hamish – They drive the Ambulance to the hospital.
Sebastien Haskett – Hamish’s dad and Tim takes the sick people.
Struan – They take the sick people. They put the sirens on…why?
Zara – Because they are very noisy.
Rory – they put the sirens on because it’s an emergency.
Sebastien Haskett – Yes, that’s right Rory.

The children loved the visit so much that we have had discussions about building our own ambulance in the classroom!

Show and tell has been going well the last 2 weeks. The children are very eager to share what they have brought in from home, which is lovely to see. The children are asking fantastic questions to the person that is sharing, which is demonstrating their keen interest in the topics and the things that the children are sharing.

We hope you have had a lovely week.


Love Miss Gilbert and Miss C
