In the last week of the term Hancock Forest Management came to school with one of the big logging trucks loaded with los to teach us about how to be safe on the roads with the logging trucks. Soon the pines will be logged again and we are expecting 35 truck and trailer loads of logs to be on the road between Ongarue and Waimiha per day. That's 70 trucks a day allowing for the trucks returning empty.
Bruce showed the children a slide show that taught about blind spots, stopping distances and how a trailer cuts a corner behind a truck. We all then went out to sit in the truck cab, count the wheels and generally be awed by the massive size of a fully laden truck and trailer. The truck driver was none other than the dad of a past pupil.
Thank you Hancock Forest management for the donations of the fluorescent beanies.
Please can all our tamariki wear their fluorescent beanie when they are out and about on the road or waiting for the school bus.
