Week 3 - This Week at school
Whilst we were at the zoo last week we took photos of the different animals and their enclosures so that we could make our own animal enclosures at school. The girls chose an animal that they were keen to find out more about and organised themselves into small groups. They searched through library books and we looked on the Auckland Zoo website and drew pictures of the food, shelter, water source and activities for stimulation that they will need to include into their enclosure. Our next step will be to draw the floor plan for our enclosure and then decide what materials we will need to make these. We will keep you updated on our progress!
News - If your daughter is stuck for ideas for news it would be a great idea if they could find a picture and an interesting fact about their chosen animal. Mrs Mason our science teacher is discussing living and non living things and discovering what creatures need in order to live and grow. That also gives a wide scope for something to share and talk about.
Wednesday - There has been a change to our timetable. We are now going to the library on Wednesday period 4 rather than period 6 on Friday.
Friday - Mad Hatters Teas Party: Bring your fantastic hats along to school so we can all parade around like Mad Hatters together!!
Request - I am wondering if anyone has any clean plastic see through lids at home (similar to that of a chinese takeaway lid) if they could bring them in. If I can collect 18 we will use them for display in our animal inquiry. As much as I love chinese food I am not sure I can achieve this on my own!
