A Duck with a Disability?

Eleanor:
Today we went to the duck pond where we met a stunted duckling. It was cute. It pecked Sue once. It drank our tadpole water! It had stunted wings with no feathers because people were giving it too much bread. Ducks need to eat healthier food. PS- very naughty people!

Responsible Pet Ownership


Hi Everybody,
We have been talking about responsible pet ownership this week. Today we walked to the duck pond to get some fresh clean water for our tadpoles. We need to change their water every few days so that they grow up happy and healthy. Sue showed us how to clean the tank and move the tadpoles from one tank to the other without hurting them. When the tadpoles grow into frogs we will take them back to the pond. We need to remember to feed them every few days too. The cross on the lid of the tank is to remind us not to put our hands in the water. Fish and tadpoles get scared to death when you put your hands in. The tank is see through so that we can look through the sides and watch the tadpoles swim.

Go for Your Life !


Eleanor:
At assembly today the Go For Your Life team came to talk to us about everyday food and sometimes food. There were questions and there were prizes and I got a beach volley ball. Ricky got a sweat band. We played a copy cat game, musical freeze and a balloon game.

The Mystery Bug !

Click on the picture to find out what this grub grows into.

Tim:
I found this grub on a tree first then it walked on the path. I have seen one of these before. This was my second time.
I picked it up because it looked nice and because I wanted to show my friends. I put it in some bark. I used a leaf to get it on and then I had to use a stick to keep it on. Then I covered it with another bit of bark and walked to school.
Eleanor:
When I patted it, it was soft. I thought it was a female but it might be a male. It was small and cute and it had a little black head. It looks like a witchetty grub.
Ricky:
It looks like a spit fire.It was about to spit. Tim scared it. He got a rubber spider and he was trying to get it to spit. The spit looks like skin colour it is ooey and gooey and disgusting. It poisons its enemies. It hides in bark because it is camouflaged.
Danny:
It looks so small it's about 3.5cm long. Tim asked Jamie about what it turns into but Jamie doesn't know.

Plover Invasion

Tim:
We have 4 plovers on our oval. They are scaring other birds and us. They open their wings and make loud sounds. We are not allowed to play on the oval until they go away. Andy locked both of the gates.


Our class decided that if we see the plovers coming we will:

Stay calm and quiet.

Protect our eyes.

Walk to a safe place like the classroom or veranda.

If Bowling Balls Were Made of China...


Eleanor:
If bowling balls were made of china they would break really easily on the bowling alley because they would be made of china like plates. That's wrong! So, to make it right you would have to make out of steel or plastic.
