We have successfully conducted our term four fire and earthquake drill at BestStart Jones Crescent Kindy today. Before we actually started the drills, we together had discussion about what drill meant and what we were supposed to do during the drills.  All the children came out with their own ideas. Some of children said they would run outside when drills started, others weren't sure what to do. 

Then our kaiako (teachers) explained to them what drill meant and what they needed to do if we were in a dangerous situation, such as fire, earthquake etc.  All the children listened to their kaiako’s words so carefully. So, when we conducted the drills, whole process went so well. All the children did follow our kaiako’s instructions and we completed our drills very successfully! We are so proud of our tamariki! 

In addition, during our discussion regarding the drills, our tamariki have learnt to share their ideas with others, and simultaneously listen to other people’s point of view. This will help them greatly enhance their social communication skills.
