Folk Dancing!

In term 3 we have been doing folk dancing.  We dance with a partner and sometimes in groups. We have learnt lots of different dances.  As you look through the pictures can you guess which dance it might be?  Have a think and tell your family and friends which your favourite one is.



 Operation Spring Clean 2013 

On Friday Western Heights Primary participated in Operation Spring Clean in and around our school.

 Room 11 had the job of picking up rubbish along the fence line and right down the end of the field.

 Check out all this rubbish we collected as a school!  There was even  more to come from the seniors too!

 

 Well done everyone for keeping our school and our local community clean!

 

 

Road Safety

       Road Safety     

In week 6 Constable Dean came to visit Room 11!  He talked to us about keeping safe when walking down the road on the footpath and how to look out for sneaky driveways.  

Can you remember what a sneaky driveway is?  Chat to your family about them.  

Constable Dean took us on a walk outside the school to practise looking out for sneaky driveways. 

 Alannah and Andrey are looking out for cars coming out of a sneaky driveway. 

 Constable Dean also showed us how to cross the road safely.  

He reminded us to step back from the curb, then to STOP, LOOK and LISTEN.  

As we crossed the road we kept looking and listening out for cars too.

 Constable Dean also showed us why it is important to have a booster seat.  In this photo look at where the seat belt is on Oliver, is this the best place to protect you? 

 Now Oliver is in a booster seat and the seat belt is across his shoulder, much safer than around his neck. 

 Constable Dean let us all sit in the police car, he played all the different sirens and he even let Mrs Applegate speak into the police car radio!

You can see more photos and videos of our time with Constable Dean below.
