What a fun filled week we had with numerous celebrations and a special visit from the police. The start of the week was a very busy time with two special events on the same day. We were very lucky to have had a demonstration from some police officers, sirens sounding and lights flashing, it was all very exciting. The officers spoke to the children about being safe and if ever in trouble to call the police. It was very beneficial for the children to have an opportunity to ask questions and interact with the very important people that police officers are. These are some of the comments that the children said about the police visit.
They really loud. I put the hat on – Charlie

I saw the policeman and the police car. White and blue…press the button and it made flashing lights. I just cover my ears – Ryan

The blue man. Him put special blue hat on his head. He push button. Nee nor, nee nor – Aston

 The class made pancakes to celebrate Shrove Tuesday, some of the children helped add the ingredients while others used their strong muscles to mix the batter. During this cooking experience the children enjoyed watching the reaction of the batter once heated. There was plenty of excitement once the pancakes begun to take their shapes. The smell of the pancakes was amazing and there were lots of little noses inhaling the smell, not to mention there were little mouths that enjoyed the taste as well. Also during the week we celebrated Chinese New Year with a traditional lion dance. The dance was fantastic, with the noise of the drums and the cheers from the audience.  Also in celebration of the Chinese New Year Mrs Sue and Mrs Robina made a delicious Chinese banquet that the children enjoyed.
