Healthy Harold

This afternoon we hurried to class when the bell went at the end of lunch. We were so excited to get ready to learn about healthy eating, physical activity, strategies to stay safe and how our body reacts in different situations. We had Tam the plastic body to help us when we were learning about parts of the body. The first part was the brain. When we identified that, Tam's brain lit up with red flashing lights. It was really exciting.
Here you can see some of the body parts lit up. We identified the brain, heart and lungs. We learnt that it's important to wear a helmet to protect our brains. Our heart pumps blood around our bodies. We learnt that our lungs clean out and keep the good air - oxygen. We produce bad air when we breathe out - carbon dioxide.

We learnt about how we can get to the finish line by trying. So even if we feel scared or that people might laugh or we can't do it we still have a go.

We played a few games while we were learning too.

Field of Mars Excursion

What a wonderful day we had at the Field of Mars. A big thank you to Georgia, our parent volunteer, who made the day much more manageable. We got to walk on the board walk and even got down on our bellies to have a look at the creatures in the mud. There was so much excitement involved in the day and we were all exhausted by the time we came back. What a great way to see in the new term!
