Captain Cash

MONEY

One Friday, Captain Cash came to room twenty-two for a visit.

Firstly, I got to stand up and pretend that I was the shop -keeper, and sell Captain Cash a teddy bear.

Next, he showed us all the New Zealand money. Then he put the money in the least value to the biggest value.

After that, he sang us a song, it went like this… save some, spend some and share

some too! Then, he talked to us about needs and wants. I give money to charity.

Last, he did a play about a girl called Aroha. I loved the visit!

St Johns Visit - Good Sorts

Firemen Visit Recounts

The Firemen Visit

Firstly, we met the firemen in the hall.

We learnt not to play with stuff that causes fires.

Their job is to put out fires, they also help the ambulance people.

They help with all kind of accidents.

There were four firemen. Next, we went to see the fire truck,

but we didn’t just walk out the doors we had to go under

a black blanket. It was supposed to smoke so we had to,

get down and crawl. When we were finally outside we were allowed

to have a look at and in the fire truck. Then on the other side

was grass so we sat down as they showed us the uniform and

breathing gear.They showed the hoses to us. We liked the firemen visit.

I hope they come again. My favourite part was the sirens.

THE FIREMEN

Last week, the firemen came to visit us to teach us about safety.

First, we went to the hall. They said don’t touch matches or lighters.

When you see matches or lighter you will give them to your mums and

dads. When it was the end we crawled underneath a black towel and we got

out of the hall. Then the firemen let us go in the fire truck. It was fun and my favourite part was when I got to go in the fire truck.

THE FIRE VISIT

Last week, the firemen came to Sunnyhills School to talk about what to

do and what not to do. They showed what to not to play with. Also what

to do when a fire starts. You don’t just stay there, ring the firemen.

They help people get out of cars. They also do what ambulances do.

I liked when we got to go inside the fire truck.

THE FIREMEN

Last week, the firemen visited Sunnyhills School to talk about the

fire truck and fire. First, he showed us what to do when the fire comes.

Next, the firemen showed matches, a lighter and candle. After, we

went outside to see a fire truck. Then, children went inside the fire truck.

Next, our class went into the fire truck. In that fire truck,

it was great. Then the firemen got their fire gear and one

fireman changed into the safety gear. I felt excited because

I went in the fire truck.
