Africa Photos

Today Mrs J.Taylor came to room 9 to show us some photo's from her Africa trip. We saw Hippo's, Jaguars, Hyena's and Warthogs. I learnt that vaulters have no feathers on there head because the blood from other animals. On one photo the head of a giraffe was gone from the body. In Africa there are sausage trees. If the fruit falls of the tree and hit you it can kill you. We also saw Birds.

Battleships

For maths last week we made a battleship map. It was hard to make it but I did it. First we found a map to use so we could make a map. We had to make a 10 by 10 grid. How i did it fast is a made one line then grouped it. After that I copied and pasted then grouped the new line to the last line. I did that till it was finished. Then I added numbers and letters. This is my map when it was finished I just need to add the boats. I learnt how to read quotients.   

Zoo Trip

The Zoo

Yesterday years 1-6 went to the Zoo. when we got to the Zoo the Instructor told us all the rules before we could go and explore. First we seen the Sumerian tigers And across from that was the Aussie walkway where the Kangaroo, Emu and peacock were. The Emu was so scary because he tried to eat someone's booklet. Next we went to see all the things that live in the rain forest there were lots birds. After we saw the Elephant, Orangutan and kea. The Elephant’s back was covered in mud and the kea was beautiful. The kea’s colours is what caught my eye. My favourite thing to see at the Zoo was the Orangutan because he was hanging from the play web and looking at me. After that we learnt some facts about the Hippo, Elephant, Rhino and giraffe. A Hippo can stay underwater for 5 minutes.The Elephant flaps its ears to cool down. A Rhino’s horn is made of hair. A giraffe’s tongue is blue so it doesn't get sunburn and its tongue is very long.
