FYI

Just to let you know, I am currently on Maternity Leave so will not be regularly updating this blog until I return back to Roslyn School and the Rainbow Patch.
Be sure to check out the other classroom blogs from Rainbow Patch, they will keep you up to date with the goings on.

Christian the Lion - Can we have Lions as pets?

Term 2 - What a term!

Term Two is here and what a term we have lined up!
It is week three already and the kids have been finding out all about their favourite animals. Our Inquiry Topic for this term is "Why can't I have an Elephant as a Pet?"
They are learning all about different animals, the differences between domestic animals and animals in the wild, the endangered animals in the world and what we can do to help them. We have a Petting Zoo at school today with sheep, goats, a donkey, calves...you name it, it's here! This will spark off a buzzing excitement in the kids and I am sure that there will be many more wonderings posted up on the classroom Wonder Walls by the end of the day. (photos to come!)
Later on this term we will be taking the children to the Wellington Zoo. We have been fundraising for this since the beginning of the year and everyone in very excited about the trip. More information will be coming out to parents soon about this. In the meantime, if you have any bright ideas about how we can fundraise more money to support this trip, please let the teachers in Rainbow Patch know.
