A Visit from Fr Alister
This morning Fr Alister came to talk to us about Baptism. He showed us the special oils that are used - one smelled of roses! He also brought his own baptismal candle.
He put on his alb - a white garment that priests wear to remind them of their baptism.

The Fire Engine Visit
After lunch the fire fighters brought the fire engine to school. They showed us all the tools and equipment that is on the fire engine.
Everyone was going to have a turn spraying the hose and looking inside the fire engine.
Unfortunately, they got a call to go to a house fire. They quickly put on their gear and left in a hurry!

Fire Wise
Today Firefighters Malcolm, Nick, Han and Greg came to talk to Rooms 1, 2 and 3 about fire safety.
They gave us some special homework to do - check that the smoke alarms at home are working!
This is what we learned:
Billy and Cooper: Smoke is dangerous to breathe so "Get down, get low, get out fast". If there is a fire at home go outside and don't go back inside.
Cameron and Pia: Do not play with matches.
Oliver and Chin Fu: Do not put a candle near a curtain. Always use a candle holder.
Tanav and Diego: If your bedroom is burning "Get down, get low, get out fast".
Flynn and Jude: Fire can burn curtains very fast. It is very hard to see in smoke.
Thanmaya and Maddy: If there is a fire and you are playing - stop playing and get outside fast.
Samuel, Ari and Rafa: Do not play with lighters - they are a tool. Give them to an adult.
Eliza and Rinoa: Do not play with matches and lighters - they are dangerous. Give them to an adult.
Louis and George: Lighters and matches are tools for adults not kids.

Hopefully they will bring the fire engine next Friday.

Fabric and Fibre Art
This afternoon we made sheep pictures using fabric and sheep wool (fleece).
First we had to make a fringe edging on our piece of hessian.
Mrs Brazier has taken them home so she can put them on a background, We can't wait to see the finished art work!
