Fire is bad for lots of people.
Candles can start a fire as well. Never let a kid play with lighters.
If there is a fire in your room get down get low and get out fast. If the back of the door is hot don’t open the door if you’re on fire stop what you are doing drop to the ground and roll. If your house is on fire get out of the house and meet your family at the safe meeting place.
If there is a school fire and it is in your class get out of your class quickly.
Fire can kill you.

Headlice
Recently headlice have been found in our classroom.
Treatment of headlice is the parents responsibility. Effective control can only come if every home cooperates.
ANYONE can catch headlice and become reinfected.
Regular weekly checking of the hair is the only way to keep the problem under control.
How do you check?
Look for:
1. The live insect
2. Scratching
3. Small, darkish and greyish eggs on the hair, close to the scalp.
Treatment and advice is available from your chemist.
If you are insure about identifying headlice, contact the Public Health Nurse:
Mrs Helen Fellowes
Phone: 09 237 0660
Or you can leave a message at the school for her to contact you.

Matthew makes liquefaction!
We have been talking about the Christchurch earthquake. The city is covered with liquefaction, which is when the water underground mixes with silt and sand. Matthew took a sample of mud from his big dirt pile and mixed it with water to make his own liquefaction and bought it to school to show us.
