Gallery Seven News - Term 1, Week 8, 2012


 Jasmine and Emelia got our Kowhai Express Star awards this week.  They both got them for being self managing and engaged class members.

We put our enlarged T-Rex Jigsaw skeleton together this week, he looks very cool. Unfortunately he got knocked over and broke his hip, so he has been dismantled and is awaiting a hip replacement. We also continued the papier mache on our Ankylosaurus with the help of Mrs Neal. He is almost ready to have his spikes and bumpy back attached.
Ashton found a praying mantis in his garage and he brought it to school for us to have a look at. We let it go in the gardens at school where it could camouflage on the leaves and find things to eat.

On Friday we all got to wear mufti, we brought  along a gold coin to help raise money for children with cancer. We raised over $1000. We also put some beads on long strings, we made these for Emily she is a lovely girl at our school who has cancer. We hope these make her feel stronger as she has her treatment.
Ashtyn and Thomas received our Artisan awards this week. Ashtyn got hers for being a bubbly and experimental class member and Thomas got his for being engaged during our dinosaur learning. 
On Friday afternoon Ashton’s mum brought in a birthday cake and lollies so that we could help celebrate Ashton’s birthday which was on Saturday, Dion’s birthday was on the same day. They both got to blow the candles out and we wished them a very happy birthday!
While we ate our treats we watched some more Prehistoric park. We learnt about Deinosuchus, he wasn’t a dinosaur but a marine reptile and the ancestor of the crocodile. Quinn drew this awesome picture of a Deinosuchus catching a Pterasaur.
