Guinea Pigs, Triple Zero and the Big Machine

We went to see the new baby guinea pigs in the Grade 2/3 classroom. They were only hours old. There were three babies and one mum. The babies were two boys and one girl.

We have been looking at Good Fires and Bad Fires and did you know that every household should have a plan of their escape routes. If it is not an emergency you do not call 000 because you could be blocking the line for another real emergency.

Today we counted four smoke detectors in the main building of the school. If there was a fire we would Get Down Low and Go, Go, Go. We also used the netbooks to access the Kids Triple Zero Challenge website.  IMG_3785 IMG_3792

Year 7s to 10 created a big machine. One section was a motorised bike that revved and blew a ball which was supposed to knock down some blocks and trigger another reaction. We got to sit in the middle and watch the skateboard go around us.

Today we tried to create some Aboriginal type art by drawing animal outlines and filling them with squiggles, lines and dots. They are now displayed on our classroom window.
