Musica Viva Tigramuna entertain Junior School
Last term the Musica Viva group, Tigramuna, performed music from South America. It was very entertaining. The children learnt about the different instruments used in contemporary and original Latin music. We danced and sang and some of the children played instruments. It was one of the best performances we have seen. Thank you Mrs Kohlhoff for organising this event.
Fire Brigade visit Preschool
This week the Fire Brigade came to talk to us. Officer Dave talked all about fires. We learnt what we should do if we were near a fire: 'get down low and
go, go, go'.
Officer Dave showed us the different types of uniforms they wear depending on the type of fire. A building fire uniform is very heavy, the children were given the opportunity of lifting the uniform pants to see how heavy they were. The bushfire uniform, however, is lightweight. Officer Dave put on all the protective gear the firefighters need to wear and it completely covered him up. He said if we are in a fire, or see a fire, we need to find a phone and call 000.
We saw the huge fire truck and climbed into the cabin. We were then given a turn to help Officer James hold the hose and water the garden.
Year 10 DT design local playgrounds and skate parks
Students were asked to imagine they were an architecture company designing a playground or skate park for their local council. Their group project was to create a presentation, and scale model, to the council to persuade them to build the park. Students were required to research their local area, survey children, and consider the requirements of shade, safety and environment in their designs.
