Jessica's special memories

Jess is remembering someone special to her that has died. We have been thinking about special people or animals in our lives because we are reading a book about a boy who is feeling sad because his dog died. He finds that it helps him to feel better by talking about his dog and remembering happy or funny times.

Challenge: Who is Jessica talking about?
 How old was she?

How many people do you think have used our Home Learning Page this week?

I was looking at the blog statistics page and was impressed to see that 9 children have used the Home Learning page this week. I wonder if we can double that by the end of the week?

The Home Learning Page has lots of great games and links to websites that you can use to practice your literacy and numeracy.

Can you guess what animal group these children learned about?

Sadly we were unable to go to Orana Park on Thursday so we had an action packed day at school. Each teacher taught the children about an animal group.
Look at the pictures children drew on the iPads. Can you guess which group they learned about?

Birds? Reptiles? Mammals? Amphibians? Fish?
