Farmyard on Wheels Incursion
During a recent incursion, Halls Head Primary School's Kindergarten students were treated to an exciting educational presentation by Farmyard on Wheels.
Farmer Mick brought the countryside along to Halls Head and gave the children an opportunity to meet the farm animals.
The children sat and listened to an informative talk about the farm animals and learned about each of the animal's role on the farm. He brought along an alpaca, a miniature horse, baby goats, chicks and various other farm animals.
The Kindergarten were very excited when they were given the opportunity to pet the animals, cuddle the chicks and bottle feed the baby goats.
During Term 3, the children have been learning about farm animals and their young in class, so they had many questions for Farmer Mick. A fantastic experience for thriving young minds.
Year 3 Fire Safety Visit
Each year, the local fire brigade visits the school to talk to our year 3 students about fire safety.
Research has shown that this is an ideal age to educate students about fire safety in the home and when they are out and about.
Part of the visit involved students thinking about a meeting point outside the home, in case of a fire, and about the best actions to take to ensure their safety.
The students got to look at the equipment carried on fire trucks and had a chance to use one of the fire hoses.
It was suggested year 3 teacher Mr Davies was squirted by his students; a bit of excitement for a second, until he declined.
