Excursion to Sydney Olympic park

On Thursday 27th of August 2009 we went on a exciting excursion to Sydney Olymipic Park to the mangorove forest and the dry forest.When we got there we had recess. Then we played rolly polly. It made us dizzy. Then we went to a bridge to look for crab holes. Then we went on a board walk. It was narow. After we got to about half way along the walk we stopped and licked the salty leaves.They tasted very salty beacause the tide comes in every day.The tide comes in because of the moons movments. Then we finished the board walk .Next we went to a pond and tried to make frog calls. After that we went past the rangers base. There was a snake near there. Then we went to a dry forest. We used a magnifying glasses. We said 'it was fun.'
We had a great time and we wish we could go again another day!

Information reports about Rainforests

AHH!I'm stuck in a rainforest and Jaguars are surrounding us! We are talking about rainforests. We started learning about them last week. Did you know that the Howler Monkey can howl about 16km away? There are 3 parts of a rainforest. They are the Forest Floor the Canopy and the undercover.There are lots of animals in the rainforest. Some are beautiful and some are ugly. we are looking forward to our excursion to the Olympic park and visiting the mangrove forest.

Class 1/2F has been writing twisted fairytales over the last few weeks and we also have typed them up and made them into a book.They are called Jack and the Beanstalk/The three little pigs

We have also buried a time capsule and we will dig it up in four years time. We have written a letter to ourselves and brought a treasure that was special to us and put it in the capsule. I can't wait to dig it up!
