Our visit from a Nurse Practitioner

During our People who Help Us topic we had a visit from a Nurse Practitioner.
She works in Minor Injuries in the Accident and Emergency department at a hospital in Leeds.

This means she helps people who come in with injuries such as; broken bones, sprained ankles and wounds.

We got to try out lots of different things a nurse might do for you if you went to hospital and had injured yourself. Have a look at our photo slideshow.

Our Visit from an Optician

One of our fantastic visits during this term has been a visit from an Optician. She visited us to explain to us how an optician helps people and tell us about the different parts of her job.

The Optician showed us how she tests children's eyes in different ways. She has to ask them if they can see things at a distance. She looks into the back of their eye with a special torch. To decide which lenses someone will need, she puts very bulky plastic glasses on them and puts in different glass lenses to see how well they can see through them.

Have a look at our photo's from the visit.

Our Fire Engine!

To finish off our superb 'People Who Help Us' topic the whole of FS2 have worked together to create our own fire engine, with a little help from Mrs Frisby.

We are very proud of it and hope you like it too.

Our Library Visit

Last week we had a visit to the Library as part of our people who help us topic. 

We met the librarians and they explained how they can help us, if we visit the library. 

They told us about the different books we can borrow in the library;
Board Books - for toddlers
Picture Story Books - Ideal for our age
Story Books for Readers - Books with a lot more words to a page and a few illustrations
Comic Books
Non-Fiction Books - Information books about lots of things such as animals, football & ballet

The librarians then told us how we can look after the books we borrow from the library.
Can you remember how the librarians told us to look after books?

We then had a story and we all chose a book ourselves. We will keep these books safe at school so we can read them whenever we want to.

Have a look at the photographs of our visit.

The Firefighters came to FS2!

Today we were very excited as we had a  visit from the firefighters at Stanks Fire Station. They brought their fire engine along too! They put on the flashing blue lights for us and turned on the siren. It was loud!

We had a list of questions to ask them. We wanted to ask;

How do they rescue people from water?
How long is the ladder?
How do they rescue cats stuck in trees?
What tools do they use?
Do they help people who are stuck inside houses?
How does the hose work?

Here are the photo's of the firefighters showing us their equipment.

The firefighters let all of us have a turn at using the hose ourselves. It was great fun. We also sat inside the fire engine to see what it was like inside.

Our New Topic!

This half-term our topic is 'People who help us'.

We have been busy this week learning about their interesting jobs and how they help others. 

We then painted pictures of our favourite person that helps others. 

We hope you like our paintings. There will be lots of them on display in the classroom next week. 

Mrs Cameron and Miss Kitchen have arranged some interesting visits from 'People who help us'. Keep checking our blog to see who comes to visit.
