Road Safety

We have been learning how to stay safe on the road.

'Constable Andy took us for road safety,' Luchiano wrote.

Gabriel wrote, 'I look up and down the road before I cross on the pedestrian crossing.'

Atlas wrote, 'I was learning how to walk safely on the footpath.'

'A big person needs to be on the road side and a little person needs to be on the house side,' wrote Jesse.

Shalom recorded, 'The driveways are sneaky driveways because sometimes the sneaky driveway has a tall fence and the driver can't see me so I have to stay one step away from the sneaky driveway.'

Swimming

This week we have begun swimming at Cannons Creek Pool. Everyday we go by bus to the pool and work with our swimming instructors.
