Kilbirnie School Picnic at Khandallah Park

On Thursday, all of Kilbirnie School filled five buses and set off for Khandallah Park.  The weather was perfect and we were all very excited as we set out for a fun day.

End of a fun day!

Pack the Bus

Today, we celebrated our annual event -  'Pack the Bus.' We were all very excited to see Santa and his elves arrive in the big red and white bus.
We all walked down to the bus and placed our gifts inside and said good bye to Santa and wished him a Merry Christmas.  It was great hearing all the Christmas music and we were able to sing along to the songs.

We are always amazed at the generosity of our parents - THANK YOU so much.

Jump Jam

The more the merrier!  - every Friday, Rooms 1,2,3,& 4 join together for a session of Jump Jam in the hall.  We love it!

Swimming Lessons

Today we had our second swimming lesson in our new heated swimming pool - and who wouldn't want to go swimming on such a beautiful day!  The water was lovely and warm and we had so much fun blowing bubbles, splashing about and floating on the flutter boards.  As you can see from the photos, we all enjoyed our lesson and look forward to getting into the water again next week.

Playing in the bark

Today, some of the Room 1 & 2 girls had a wonderful time playing in the bark with the trucks.  We are so lucky to have lots of activities to occupy us during  our lunchtime.

Firewise

Today, Tom the fireman came to visit us at the Ngake Hub to talk about being fire safe.  We watched a movie about a candle that was put on the window sill under an open window.  Very quickly, the flame from the candle set the curtain on fire and smoke and flames filled the room.

Tom read us a story about Rose who was woken up when her smoke alarm went off one night.  She leapt out of bed and shouted "fire!" then dropped to the floor and crawled out of her room and out of the house.

Tom showed us a fire alarm and we heard the loud noise it made when it was set off.
We practised yelling out "FIRE" as loud as we could shout - that was cool!

When Tom put on the smoke alarm again, we all DROPPED onto our knees and CRAWLED on the floor,  under the black blanket and out of the room.
Tom then gave us time to answer many of our questions.
We really enjoyed Tom's visit and look forward to his return in a few weeks when he brings his Fire Engine along to show us - how exciting!
