St Johns

Today St Johns came to our school and taught us how to save lives by using manikins. 

We learnt how to do First Aid and we had to pump the manikins heart and make it click  ( the heart did not pump because it is fake )

We had to put our hands onto the manikins forehead and chin then tilt its head back.

How to save someones life.

1. Push the manikin until it clicks. 

2. Tilt someones head just in case they vomit and drown.

3.  Call 111 if you need help.

4. Check for danger.

5. Check for things that could make you sore.

Toolkit:  I managed myself by listening 

Reflection: I learnt how to save someones life

W.A.L.T write learning stories about St Johns learning.

Once I had a dream...

The elephant was the biggest thing I had ever seen and I started to get closer to it and I was going to get even closer until I saw a baby one.

I only saw it because we were out camping and it was outside in the massive tent.

I was going to wake up the little one but then I saw a CHEETAH…

It was asleep and I was just FREAKING OUT and it was only CAKE????

I thought it was going to be a trap because there was a net over the top of it.

Then I threw a stick at it and the net came flying down and then I had the chance to eat the cake.

Then I was in the middle of eating THE BEST CAKE EVER and then I mum woke up.  

“ Just a dream ” I said to I whispered to myself.

The end...  

Knitting club

Ava and I were doing a knitting club in term 2.
Ava ( my twin ) was helping and there were knots that we had to untangle.
we had to have enough wool, knitting needles  and enough people to do it 

Quartez was helping us by teaching another group of people arm knitting.


Toolkit: I was using the toolkit by thinking of ways to teach people.
I think I did well at running the knitting club.
I think I could improve on the knitting supplies.

He is thinking:     ITS ALMOST 11 ' O'CLOCK..... 

Frog Facts

• A frog is an amphibian. They lay their eggs in water. The eggs hatch into a tadpole which lives in water until it metamorphoses into an adult frog.

• Tadpoles look more like fish than frogs, they have long finned tails and breathe through gills.

• An amphibian can live both on land and in water.

• Although frogs live on land their habitat must be near swamps, ponds or in a damp place. This is because they will die if their skin dries out.

• Instead of drinking water, frogs soak it into their body through their skin.

• Frogs breathe through their nostrils while also absorbing about half the air they need through their skin.

• Frogs use their sticky, muscular tongue to catch and swallow food. Unlike humans, their tongue is not attached to the back of its mouth. Instead it is attached to the front, enabling the frog to stick its tongue out much further.

• The common pond frog is ready to breed when it is only three years old.

• Frogs in the wild face many dangers and are lucky to survive several years. In captivity however, frogs can live for much longer.  

• Frogs can see forwards, sideways and upwards all at the same time. They never close their eyes, even when they sleep.

• Remarkably, frogs actually use their eyes to help them swallow food. When the frog blinks, its eyeballs are pushed downwards creating a bulge in the roof of its mouth. This bulge squeezes the food inside the frog's mouth down the back of its throat.

Tiger Facts

The tiger is the biggest species of the cat family. Tigers can reach a length of up to 3.3 metres (11 feet) and weigh as much as 300 kilograms (660 pounds). Subspecies of the tiger include the Sumatran Tiger, Siberian Tiger, Bengal Tiger, South China Tiger, Malayan Tiger and Indochinese Tiger. Many subspecies of the tiger are either endangered or already extinct. Humans are the primary cause of this through hunting and the destruction of habitats. Around half of tiger cubs don’t live beyond two years of age. Tiger cubs leave their mother when they are around 2 years of age. A group of tigers is known as an ‘ambush’ or ‘streak’. Tigers are good swimmers and can swim up to 6 kilometres. Rare white tigers carry a gene that is only present in around 1 in every 10000 tigers. Tigers usually hunt alone at night time. Tigers have been known to reach speeds up to 65 kph (40 mph). Less than 10% of hunts end successfully for tigers Tigers can easily jump over 5 metres in length. Various tiger subspecies are the national animals of Bangladesh, India, North Korea, South Korea and Malaysia. There are more tigers held privately as pets than there are in the wild. Tigers that breed with lions give birth to hybrids known as tigons and ligers.
