Fire Safety - Smoke Alarms

In LS2 we have been talking about to keep safe from fire. Having smoke alarms all around your house can be very helpful because smoke alarms sense smoke and makes a loud screeching sound to alert you. Make sure to have one in every bedroom. Make sure not to have placed in the kitchen because when you are cooking it will trigger the smoke alarm I have worked with Oh Hsen to complete this DLO.

Fire Service Summary

I have created a DLO explaining how the fire service helps our community with my group: Oh Hsen, Tiava, and Lyric. The first thing we did write down 20 important words then choose 6 from the 20. The last thing we did was make a 25 word summary using the 6 most important words that explains how the fire service helps our community.

Police Visit

On Thursday the police helicopter came and landed at Panmure Bridge School. They came and talked about how they help out in the community. The helicopter was cool to watch come but the dogs came as well and everyone was excited to see the dogs. When the dogs came out they did tricks. They then gave an example of what the dog sniffs out. They then showed how the dog catches someone trying to run away. A man came out with padding and the dog ran after him. It was a fun to experience the helicopter landing and seeing a dog in action.

Fire Station Visit

As part of our inquiry this term we have been learning about people who help out the community. On Tuesday LS2 went to the Mt Wellington fire station. We learnt all about there job. One interesting thing I learnt about firefighters is that they are first responders. This means that they can be the first people to help the injured. 

Mussel Harvesting

In maths we have been doing some maths problems. This week the problems we were solving involved using our times table and our division. I have worked with Jeremiah to show our learning through a DLO.

Exploring Characters

For novel study, Tiava, Nazella and I were working on exploring Captain Tombs and Tam Spratley from the book Rat Island. We read the book then we had to answer questions about the characters. We created two drawings, one on Captain Tombs and another one on Tam Spratley. We then explored the similarities and difference between to two characters using a venn diagram.

Swamp Tiger Adaptions

In LS2 we have been learning about the adaptations of an animal. I chose an animal the starts with the first letter of my name. I decided to do a Swamp Tiger. An interesting thing I found out about Swamp Tigers is that there fur is to help them blend in to the forest. Researching was hard but I kept going.

How Children Learn At School

How Children Learn at School

Are you aware that children watch and copy other people? Learning is important for children because they are going to grow up and become adults. Children ask a lot of questions, talk and have fun this helps them to learn and experience as they grow. 

Firstly, children copy what they see. They copy things from other people, television and especially their parents. They are awesome observers and this will help their imagination grow. They often follow a certain role model. They listen to things that they are highly interested in. Kids also have a lot of energy.

Kids have a lot of energy and they use this energy to play with friends and talk. They have numerous ways to play and have fun. When they play it helps them to gain more experience in the environment they are in. Children also ask plenty of questions.

Children ask questions when there confused. They take a lot of risk when they ask questions. They ask questions to help them understand. When they ask questions they improve the skill that there learning about.

Learning is vital for children because they be our next generation. Children will take risk and make mistakes. They will learn with and from each other.


For writing we have been practising to write an explanation for our writing test. Me and Ofa worked together to write this explanation. While writing this we learnt that there is a title, introduction, paragraph 1 2 3, conclusion and to add a hook. I also learnt how to link my paragraphs together. I think that this helped me because it gave me a recap of all the things that I need to use in my writing test. After we finished we gave our work to other groups and they proof-read our work.
