Room 2's visit to the Life Education van

We went to the Life Education bus and saw Harold and Suzanne. Harold sang a funny song about keeping healthy. Then we looked around the room to find puzzle pieces. The puzzle showed us what our body needs to stay healthy. We found a heart (love), a bed (sleep), a house (shelter), a drop of water, some food, and a safety helmet. Next we played with some animal puppets. We gave the puppets some food, drink and exercise. We also saw a doll called Tam who had glow in the dark lungs and heart. We talked about what some of our body parts do. Then we said goodbye to Harold and he gave each of us a book and a sticker to take home.

Wastebusters

We had a lady come and visit us from Wastebusters. She showed us lots of things we can recycle at home. We got to be creative and think of other ways we can use an ice cream container. We came up with ideas like: a container to collect sea shells, a hat, a robot, a food bowl for your dog, and even a dinner table for your dolls! The lady showed us some things that she had made out of recycled materials. On our next Wastebusters visit we got to decorate tin cans. We used feathers, tinsel and ribbon.
