What's been happening lately?

Hello everyone.  I have been having alot of difficulty getting onto my page but hopefully I have sorted out the problem.  We have had loads of things going on in our classroom.  Firstly we are all set up in Room 9 as we wait for Room 8 to get earthquake safe.  It is really cosy and the children have been fantastic.  We were also given a Turtle at .the end of Term One and the children named him Rocky.  He is currently staying at my house and the children really miss him. 





This is Rocky.  He is a 4 year old Red Eared Slider.  He is very cute but can bite really hard.  A huge thank you must go out to Horiana who gave him to us. 


As the children were busy researching about turtles Whaea Louise brought in a huge
Turtle shell that has been passed down through her family.  It originally comes from one of the Pacific Islands and is meant to bring good luck to a family.  Olivia is showing a view from the outside of the shell.


This is Cerys with a view from the inside.  The children were really interested to see how the spine of the turtle is attached to the shell.
