WHO AM I?

Here is an animal who am I for Grade Prep, One and Two. Be the first to guess the animal correctly and tell Mrs Johnson and win a special prize!

Who am I?

Beware of that log you see floating in the water. It has eyes and they belong to me. I am ferocious looking, but usually I am shy and will avoid you unless you disturb my nest. I can be 8 to 15 feet long, so the only predator I worry about is man. What am I?

Think carefully and let Mrs Johnson know!

Junior School Transport Rally Day

STOP!

Red means 'Stop'

These are the signs we saw...

On 17th June we had our Transport Rally Day. Children dressed up, some making fantastic costumes at home. We started our morning by going for a walk to spot traffic signs. It took a long time for everyone to cross at the traffic lights, but we did it safely. For the rest of the day we rotated activities. Some of the activities we did were making our own set of traffic lights, practise our driving and pedestrian skills by following road signs set out on the basketball court (thanks to the help of the 5/6s), and brainstorming all the signs we spotted on our walk.

STOP! NO STANDING! GIVE WAY!
