Harold Visit


Do you know who this is? That's right. It's Harold.

Harold and the Life Education bus came to visit us at school this week. All the classes will be going to see Harold.







Jacob is looking confused and no wonder! He is looking at all the ooey bits that we have inside us, like our heart, liver, lungs and kidneys.

We are learning what these parts do and how to keep them healthy. Do you know that your brain feels like mushed-up avocado, looks like a walnut and smells like blue cheese.



We also looked at drugs. All medicines are drugs but not all drugs are medicines. Some drugs are helpful because they can help you get better, but some are harmful. You should never, ever take anyone elses medicine because it has not been made especially for you.
We like Harold coming to school because we learn heaps.

Sky High 2008


Look at this lovely, luscious lot!

This is the cool crew in Room 5 this year. Some of these children are in Year 5 and some are in Year 6.

We have been busy creating our CV's so that we can apply for all the jobs that the senior class has to do.

Our first unit this year is 'Amazing Me! What Lies Beneath?' We are going to be looking at all the important parts that we have inside our body. Stay tuned and you may find out some interesting (and yucky!) facts.
