Bike Safety Lessons

Thank you to Constable Wayne and Kirsty who came in and talked to us about cycle safety and gave us lessons. The Year 3 and 4 children really enjoyed this activity. 

A few key things were:

• replacing our helmet if it got cracked
• having a helmet that fits correctly and 
• ABCs - air, brakes, chain and seat at the correct height
• staying about 1.5 m away from cars 
• signalling
• what to do at a give way and a stop sign
• looking behind and signalling
• using your front and back brake at the same time to stop safely
• wear a vest if you can
• keep left

The following fact sheet is a useful one:

Our Toy display

Today we were very excited because we had invited our parents to our Year 3 Karakia and Waiata, and to see our toy display. We are very proud of what we have achieved.
Come and have a look at some of the things we have made.

These are only some of our amazing creations . You can come and see all of them at the School Fair on Saturday 12th November.

Today we went to a concert in the hall put on by New Zealand Playhouse. It was very funny and they taught us an important message about using social media on the Internet.
