Learning to do CPR

On Wednesday 23rd November, we learnt how to perform CPR on a plastic doll. It was hard to remember to hold the head back so that the neck was straight. After everyone had done the breathing and compressions we were given a plastic bag with goodies to take home.

Being ECO Warriors

In Term 1, 2011 Room 2 had to learn their chores around the school for the rest of the year. Room 2 are in charge of all the caretaker type jobs like emptying rubbish bins, compost bins, and looking after the worm farm. To help us learn our chores, teams in our class were given the task of making an advert. So we used cameras and wrote scripts and filmed our ads. This year I have learnt a lot about the environment - like how to take care of the worms and how they can help our plants grow.

How much we have changed!

At the start of the year. My face was a little different than it is now. Mrs Harliwich took everyone's photo. It is amazing how much you can change during the year.

Cycle Safety

In the first term February 14th, Room 2 participated in Cycle Safety. First we checked our bikes and learnt some biking games to warm us up. We practiced in our school grounds, learning how to start and turn, then stop. By the next day we were ready for the road. We put on our fluro vests and tightened our helmets and learnt how to bike safely on the road. After we completed the training we received a certificate and earned our bike license.

Kia Kaha Posters

In March after the earthquake, Room 2 children made Kia Kaha Posters so that everyone would stay strong.We learnt that Kia Kaha means to Stay Strong. When we wre doing the posters we learnt what had happened to Christchurch. This helped us to get back together as well. Kia Kaha is a message of HOPE and LOVE. We also learnt a new technique using the pastels to colour.

St John - Safe Kids

On Wednesday 23rd November,

Jessica from St Johns came to Room 2 to teach us when to call the ambulance and CPR. We practised answering the questions from the emergency operator, why to call an ambulance and being sent for help. We also learn to put someone in the recovery position. We had to practice this a few times to make sure our patient was comfortable. Once we had all got that and Jessica was happy.

We learnt how to perform CPR on a plastic doll. It was quite hard to do the compressions and breathe into the dummie. You had to remember to hold the head back so that the neck was straight. After everyone had done 5 sets of 30 compressions and 2 breathes, Jessica got us together again to go over what we had just learnt.
