Carolyn's Turtle Report

Turtles

Turtles are reptiles. There are seven species of sea turtles. Turtles are like tortoise expect that tortoise lives on land.

Appearances:

Turtles have  hard shells that protects them like  shields. These upper shells are called  carapaces. Turtles also have lower shells called plastrons. They have four flippers and they don’t have ears.

Habitat:

Most of the turtles live in the sea water but some live in freshwater.

Diet:

Sea turtles are omnivorous. Sea turtles eat seagrass, algae, sponges, sea squirts, squid, shrimp, crabs, jellyfish, cuttlefish and sea cucumbers.

Turtles have existed for around 215 million years. Some sea turtles are in danger of dying out because people collect their eggs. People use too much plastic and they go down the drain then into the sea. The turtles think it’s a jellyfish and eat it but then they get sick and die!

Father's Day Breakfast

Thanks to all the Dads who were able to come to the Fathers Day breakfast. Thanks also to the Mums who helped. 

Nathan's Mum helped serve the food at the breakfast. His Dad enjoyed a coffee and bacon buttie before leaving for work.

Carolyn and Danya's Dads enjoyed the bacon butties too. Danya's Dad had a hot chocolate while Carolyn's Dad drank a flat white.

Mrs Robb is holding the prize(a scooter). Rebecca is wondering who the winner will be. You had to make a paper plane and fly it the furthest to win.

 Ruby's Dad is enjoying a birthday cuddle with Ruby after the breakfast.

Poppy showed her Dad her beautiful art work in our classroom after the breakfast.

Working on our problem diamonds to find out what problem we're going to solve.

Autumn Tree Art

We observed and sketched Autumn trees before making our bigger versions. On a large piece of paper we drew our trees and leaves with chalk. Next we  coloured our trees with crayon.

For the background, we used a variety of materials for effect. Some of us used the classroom carpet, some used the deck and some used fabrics for texture. Aren't they amazing?

Showtime in Room 18

Thank you to the girls in Room 18 who performed for us this week.

Jessica and Erin, we enjoyed your entertaining Harry Potter Puppet Show.

Pop-star Ruby, we think you are an amazing dancer.

Carolyn, Brodie and Sonia, you were spectacular when you performed The Duck Song.

Harry Potter Ninety Nine Seconds performed by Erin, Jessica and Danya...phenomenal!
