What Changes Can You See?

As our chickens have grown we have seen many changes. Please watch this video and let us know what changes you can see.

Our Gorgeous Chickens!

We are very sad because our chickens are leaving us tomorrow. We have really enjoyed having them in our classroom and we have found out heaps about how they grow. We had our last cuddle today! Our Gorgeous Chickens on PhotoPeach

Taking Action!

Our Inquiry this term has been about caring for animals. We have had chickens and rabbits in our classroom, visited the RSPCA, listened to a vet nurse and listened to a volunteer from Wildlife Victoria. Each of these expereinces gave us ideas of what we could do to help animals. Our class has decided to raise money to buy materials to make 'nesting' boxes for a wildlife shelter. The first part of our action is to advertise our 'Rainbow Day' to the school community. This day will be used to raise money to buy the building materials. We collaborated with our buddies today to find out how to use a computer program to create the heading for our poster. We printed these headings out and then placed these on our posters.

New Maths Discoveries!

In Maths today we played two games. The first game was 'Add the Total'. We rolled three dice and we had to add the dots on the dice together to get our total. We discovered that it was quicker to count on from the largest number.




The second game we played was 'Teddy Bear Take Away'. We found out how to record this game.

What Can I See?


We have been watching our chickens grow over the last 8 days and as they have grown we have recorded these changes in our 'Chicken Journals'.





Today we discovered that the chickens are growing feathers on their wings and their legs and feet are getting bigger!

Buddy Day

Last Friday our class spent some time with our buddies to celebrate 'Buddy Day' and to learn the Buddy handshake. We had a great time and our buddies even presented us with our own bears! Buddy Day on PhotoPeach
