Road Safety Photos

Last week Police Education Officer John Somerfield visited and showed us ways of staying safe coming and going from school.  We also talked about car seats, leaving the car closest to the footpath, being good in the car so the driver can concentrate, sneaky driveways and helmets.  He also showed us his car and some of the different equipment he uses.

Rod Morris

We were so lucky to have Rod Morris come to school last week and talk to us about his passion....the creatures on the Peninsula.
He even brought a huge stick insect he found in his backyard.  It was amazing.
