Junior Assembly

On Friday we had our junior assembly and shared some of our learning.  Room 9a shared their artwork and stories about people who help us in the community. Room 9 shared their seasons artworks and winter writing. Room 10 had some amazing wallpaper collages of fire engines.  We have been busy with our learning. 

The songs were so much fun. Thanks Mrs Newman for finding them.

 Check out our cool hats. 

We even had our very own ballerina, Sara!

A Fire Engine at Sunnyhills School!

It was a beautiful, sunny Wednesday morning when the Howick Fire Brigade came to visit us at Sunnyhills School. We were really lucky to climb inside the fire engine and have a look around. 

Fireman Paddy and Fireman Chris showed us the special clothes they wear when they put out fires. They put on their boots and pants, then their jacket.  They wear a special mask under their helmets to protect their face, ears and neck.  Their helmet and breathing mask is really important too.  Firemen even wear gloves so none of their skin is showing.

Thank you Howick Fire Brigade! We really enjoyed your visit and learnt more about fire safety! You are AWESOME!

Safe journeys - Fireman Matt visits

This week we had a visit from Matt Evans, a fireman. He talked to us about fire safety.  

We learnt what to when there is a fire. 

We need to get down, get low and get out fast! We get down because 'Fresh air is down there.' 

We shout "Fire, fire, fire!"

When we get out we need to meet at our safe meeting place, our letter box. 


We also learnt that we need smoke alarms in;

• every bedroom

• the hallway

• the lounge.  

We checked our own house to see where our smoke alarms were. We think 'smoke alarms save lives.'

Safe Journeys - Police visit

We have been learning about people in our community who help to keep us safe.  


We had a visit at school from 
Constable Hodder, a police officer.  
He taught us how to cross the road safely.

We need to stop, look and listen before we cross.  This is room 9 practising in the hall then crossing the road.
