Animal adaptation - Different Beaks For Different Jobs

Today we were looking at why birds have different sorts of beaks. We used kitchen utensils to imitate a birds beak and the method they use to gather their food.

Collage Balloons construction

                              First we painted the grass and sky then used combs to give it texture
                                           Next we applied paper collage to  a balloon shape
                                                                After that we wove baskets
Lastly we used a hot glue gun to attach the basket to the balloon and glue on polystyrene to the back.                                                   We then attached the balloon to the background

Trip To The Auckland Central Library

On Thursday the 29th of May we visited the Auckland Central Library.  The children's area is quite new and is very cool.  There are lots of awesome books to read and fun places to read them.  We went up stairs to the George Grey Specialist section where we saw the smallest and the oldest books the library have.  We were even allowed to have our morning tea in the library.  Later we got to go down into the lower levels of the library where they store lots of books and other things such as maps.  It was amazing.  We also did a quiz and a rebus and Mrs Venville read us some stories.
