Hi all, as mentioned below, we were lucky enough to have a St Johns worker visit us in week 9. We learnt all about what to do encase of an emergency - ring 111, and we learnt all about the questions they might ask us....therefore how important it was for us to know our own home phone number and address;

Porsha, Natalie, St Johns Worker, Sam, Nicola & Makayla

St Johns Worker, Corey, Porsha & Natalie

We also learnt how to bandage an injured limb in order to stop the blood flow and how important it was to keep it elevated.............................

Daniel elevating Roys bandaged hand

Jamie elevating Devines injured hand

Katipa elevating Anthonys very injured hand

Thanks to the organisational skills of Mrs Perrott, wonderful parent helpers and Ron, from the Mariners Club, the year 5&6 students of Waiuku Primary were able to learn about the importance of Water Safety, and have a ball whilst doing so. The week consisted of 2 ½ days theory, in Rm 10 and 2 ½ days practical activities at the Papakura & Waiuku pools, and below are some of the fun times had ..................................................
