Week 9 Ronald McDonald Visit

Today, we had a very special visitor and it was Ronald McDonald. He came to Bull’s school to talk to us about road safety. He had a big book and Mrs Hammond had to read the story. The book was nearly as big as him. In the story, he was doing his washing when the sock flew away and he was trying to find it. 

We learnt that in the car we have to MAKE IT CLICK and when we walk on the pavement we have to walk on the house side. 

When we are near a driveway or a crossing, we need to STOP, LOOK and LISTEN. 

We helped him find his sock on his back. Joshua helped him pull it off. The sock turned into a puppet who now lives at Bulls School. It was loud, noisy and really, really funny. We enjoyed the show.
