The children learned so much on their trip to the zoo! We had a wonderful day. 

In preparation for our trip to the zoo, the children read about the African plains and what sorts of animals live there. They also learned that there are lots of different habitats. For example the rainforest, the swamp, the savannah and the dessert. 

The children learned about the African Painted Dog and the Ostrich. They drew pictures of the different animals we might see in the African plains and different areas of the zoo. 

Amy is a marine biologist in Brisbane. She is an expert in colour vision and in particular the 'mantis shrimp'. We had the best time talking to her and we learned so much!
​Thank you Amy!!

In Preparation for our zoom call with Amy, the children learned a little about the mantis shrimp. The children came up with some questions that they wanted to ask Amy about the mantis shrimp and about being a marine biologist. 

The children made beautiful flower bouquets and cards for their grandparents. 

The children in room 5 have created some wonderful Christmas art which is displayed in the video below! They made chalk winter pictures, created their own elves and some made fabulous Christmas pottery and masks to give to their loved ones.
