Harold the Giraffe

We went to visit Harold in the mobile classroom. We learnt about being safe. We met Mr Possum he was funny because when Richard stroked his back he made funny faces and wiggled his arms. He cleaned himself by licking his paws and rubbing his face. We learnt possums are nocturnal. He was teaching us about safety, putting on our helmets when we ride our bikes and being careful in the playground. We got to put on our own puppets there were frogs, cows, penguin, albatross, kiwi, whale, owl, kea and a ladybug. Poor ladybug broke her eye. She had to go to the hospital.

Room 8's Space Discoveries

We have been learning about space. We made a rocket ship to read books in at reading time. We have made some cool sun artwork and we have been learning how the earth and moon rotate around the sun. The moon goes around the earth. The sun is a star. We learnt that mecury goes fastest around the sun and has an iron core. We learnt that mars has a red spot that is twice the size of earth, it has sandstorms and giant volcanoes. We learnt that venus is the only planet that turns clockwise. We learnt that pluto is a dwarf planet. Earth is the only planet that you could live on. We learnt that saturn is the second largest planet.
