Our fluffy Visitor!

This morning my mum bought in our duckling.  My sister found it on the side of the road and we are looking after it now.
The duckling is called Professor Quackers and it lives in an incubator in my brother's room.  We are feeing it silver beet, soggy weetbix, cabbage and dog roll!  It shakes its wings all the time and tries to fly.

It is very cute (We don't know if it is a boy or girl yet)

Camera vs Pencil progress

Here is Hamish and Meg's Camera vs pencil art! They have both done a fantastic job!

Look what we have got!

This afternoon a special package was delivered to school! It is so exciting to have a reply from our buddies in London! We wanted to rip open the package ..... But Megan is making us wait until the morning because Joshua and Harvey are on road patrol!

 

Life Education

This afternoon we went over the the mobile classroom to learn about the brain.  It is this big trailer where Victoria and Harold hang out!  We got to see Harold and TAM (a mannequin)

Here are some of the things we learnt:

Each day to be happy and healthy we need:
Water
Food
Oxygen
Exercise
Shelter
Sleep
Love

We have 656 muscles in our body

If you haven't had enough water to drink in a day and you go to the toilet, you urine will be very yellow!

Brain messages travel 250 - 500km/hr throughout our body

Our brain is split into 2 main parts and each part has a different jobs.

We are going back in the morning and we will share some more learning with you.

Camera vs Pencil art

This week we are creating camera vs pencil art. We have chosen images and printed them out. We now have to use another piece of paper to draw part of the image using pencil. It looks pretty cool! We will let you see our finished artwork by the end of the week.

Brooklyn's so far:

One of the examples we are using:

Welcome Victoria and Harold

We are back after 2 weeks holiday! Everyone is happy to be back and we were all excited to see each other and hear what we had all been up to over the holidays. This week we have Victoria and Harold here from the Life Education Trust. Victoria and Harold came to our assembly this morning. Harold was a very energetic giraffe and we can tell he is very good at striking a pose for the camera. Room 8 has their first session in the Life Ed bus tomorrow. We will be learning all about our brain and how it delivers messages to the rest of our body. Check back tomorrow to see what we learnt.
