Constable Kenny Koala Visits Kindergarten

Yesterday Constable Kenny Koala taught us about how to stay safe and gave us practical tips on how to 'Stay OK'.

Constable Kenny Koala taught us about the importance of:
  • always staying close to our loved ones
  • listening to our loved ones
  • holding our loved ones hand 
  • who to speak to when we feel unsafe
Constable Kenny talked about the importance of knowing loved ones mobile numbers and suggested writing a contact number on your child's arm or shoe when attending events that have a large crowd.  He also mentioned that loved ones may like to have their mobile number engraved onto a piece of jewellery for their child to wear.
Please take the time to teach your child a mobile number as this will help them to 'Stay OK'.





Thank you for your continued support!

Fire Safety in Kindergarten

Last week we had fire fighters talk to us about fire safety.  We met fire fighter Damian (Zoe's Dad) and his team.  It was such an informative and interactive session about fire safety.  We learnt all about the difference between good and bad fires. The children got to practise the action of the 'stop, drop and roll' (in the unfortunate event if our clothes were on fire) and how to get down low and go, go, go.
The firefighters taught us the importance of having smoke detectors in our home and knowing our home address.  We can call the emergency number '000' if there is ever a fire in our home. 
We learned that fire fighters are our friends that help keep us safe. They wear special protective clothing and a mask to keep themselves safe from fire.  Mrs Moo and Mrs Rodda got to dress up in all the protective safety gear! 
The fire fighters even gave us 2 home learning jobs We need to learn our home address (if we don't know it yet) and check if our smoke detectors work.  Fire fighters are able to install detectors in your home if you require assistance.
The most thrilling part was.......the fire truck of course! Lights, climbing through the truck and even getting to spray the giant hose on the thirsty grass.
Thank you to the fire fighters for coming and educating us on fire safety.  We love learning how to be and stay safe!
Check out our fantastic morning!
