The Elephant  Africa – Asia

The elephant is quite a strange animal which has two dreadful tusks and a trunk The cow elephant has one baby

every four years–which heights one meter and weighs 100kgs–which makes of him a big baby elephant!

one hour after his birth the baby elephant can already walk!His mother guides the elephants first steps because

his legs  are still shaky.

Even though they never look after their "kids", the male elephants pay attention to the young they meet. They gather

armfuls of grass or break a few branches.

The baby elephants remain close to their mother.

At about 11 years old, the male baby elephants leave the herd where they grew up. They then join other males.

FISHER AND MICHAEL'S RECYCLING BOMB

Here are some facts about recycling:

• There are 7 different types of plastic
• If you are wondering what to recycle cheek on the bottom of the bottle or container
• If the bottle/container is cross contaminated the whole bin will get put out to land full
• Can you please wash your bottles/container because they stink when they arrive to the recycling satiation   

Down by the Bay

We listened to the song "Down By the Bay" by Raffi. We then wrote our own versions that included nonsense rhymes. Then we created art to show our verse of the song.

First we got our Thinking Skills book and drew a picture of an animal doing something silly that rhymed. Then we got a big piece of white paper and drew our pictures in white chalk. Then we coloured our pictures of our animals in using crayons, leaving the white chalk uncoloured.Then we dyed it with black dye. The dye turned our white chalk lines black.

This is my picture:

Down by the bay

Where the watermelons grow

Back to my home

I dare not go.

For if I do

My mother will say

"Have you ever seen a hog

Kissing a log?"

Down by the bay.

BYOD Begins!!

On Monday 16 April, the children from Room 5 brought their own devices to school for the first time! We are going to be bringing our own devices from the beginning of term two and Monday was just a chance to try it out. We had an awesome time. Here is what some of students thought about the day.

           

Yuan said BYOD (bring your own device) is a good way to learn new things. He said that it was hard to connect to the internet, but from now on it will be easier. Yuan is disappointed because he cannot play games. He is looking forward to getting new creation apps. Yuan says that not all schools should have BYOD.

Luke says it is cool to have BYOD but it is scary thinking that it could get broken. He says BYOD is easy because it is your own device and there are no log on passwords. Luke says if he could not have an Ipad he would have an Ipod Touch.

  

Maddy said Room 5 and Room 7 were lucky to be able to bring their own device. She would like a Ipad instead of an Ipod. Maddy also said that she thinks all schools should bring their own device.

Fisher's Summer Senses Poem

Summer Senses

Summer tastes like sausages fresh from the grill. I can taste beautiful ice cream dipped in chocolate melting in my mouth.

Summer looks like the burning sun as it shines down and burns people on the beach. I can see a volleyball flying back and forth  as people enjoy their summer holiday.

Summer smells like the freshness of a glorious day. I 

Can smell the saltiness of seaweed filled wares.

Summer sounds like beautiful whales echoing on a clear morning at the beach. I can hear sausages sizzling on the BBQ shooting out sparks of fire burning the sausages that are meant to be my dinner.

                                                                                                      

Summer feels like boiling sand burning my feet as I run to the refreshing waves. I can feel the towering waves crashing down on me as I ride my boogie board to shore.
