Hey Andy Spandy

Humpty Dumpty

This is Dante's first blog posting. He was able to create jpegs, and record his audio on his own for this animated movie.
Hasn't he done a great job!

Giant Dinosaurs

The Penguins literacy group have been reading about the biggest dinosaurs.

Here are some of the things we've learnt.

Life Sized Dinosaur

How big is a real dinosaur?
Room 12 wanted to find out what a 20 metre long Apatosaurus looked like, so we drew it to scale on the court. Take a look at how we did it.

Should animals be kept in zoos?

The Seagulls Literacy group have been learning about zoos and zoo animals. They have found different opinions about zoos.


What do you think?

Worms

The Penguins Literacy group have been reading all about worms. They have written a quiz for you so you can test what you know.

Snails

The Hawks have been reading and writing about snails. Did you know that our native New Zealand snail is a carnivore and does't eat plants?
We have found out a lot about the snail's habitat, diet and enemies.


What else do you know about snails?

Dinner Play

Are you allowed to play with your dinner?



The Seagulls Literacy group has been looking at imagery in poetry. Mele has illustrated this poem by Jane Buxton about what your dinner can look like if you use your imagination.

Fireworks

Mele, Lepa and Mubasshira have been thinking about the picture this poem creates in their minds. They have drawn and animated a movie to go with Phillipa Werry's poem Fireworks.
