J2 Visit To The Fire Station 2013

The class of Junior 2 with teachers, parents and firemen.

A visit to the Fire Station is a must under the topic 'FIRE' .  The visit is always exciting and an amazing adventure for the children. This year is no different ~  the fire men,  fire engine trucks, the ladder truck, the mascot and the yellow exhibition truck were already waiting for us.

This is a bus, turned into an exhibition centre.

Here,  the children spent some time looking at the various things displayed in the bus.

Looking at the firemen stuff in the room - fire hose, fireman's jacket, boots, helmets, etc.

Explaining the many equipments and tools in the fire engine truck.

The most exciting part of the visit was the ride in the fire engine truck with the fire men.

The ladder truck ready for the children.

Photos show the children and Ms Sabariah ~  how the ladder can be extended, moved to the right, to the left with the controls.

Crocodile Pudding

In the topic 'Reptiles',  the children made 'CROCODILE PUDDING'.  It's very easy -  make some custard pudding, colour it green for the 'murky' waters and add some green cherries (for the eye lids) and black currants (for the nostrils).  The crocodile is in the water with only the eyelids and nostrils seen.  It's delicious too!

'Fire Cupcakes'

Junior 2 decorated pinkish red cupcakes as one of the activities under the topic of 'FIRE'.   The children were supposed to pipe the icing into peaks to look like the flames rising up and colourful sprinkles on top to denote the colours of the flames.  It was not an easy feat for the children to pipe the icing into peaks on the cupcakes, but they did their best and the cakes tasted great despite the look!

The cupcakes were baked in advanced.
