Dino-Might

This term (Term 2) Room 15 are learning about Dino-Might, this is all about dinosaurs. They are discovering about different kind of dinosaurs.

The main things they need to find out is what period they lived in (Triassic, Jurassic, Cretaceous), what they ate (Plants or meat) and how many legs they stood on because some dinosaurs stood on 2 legs and some on 4 legs. The dinosaurs that walked on 2 legs had a tail because the tail helped it balance.

This year room 15 has been learning lots about dinosaurs they are doing reports to go with a dinosaur they have partners in doing a dinosaur each group gets a dinosaur each to do a report on.

By the end of the term I think we will have a huge paper of dinosaur names and millions of dinosaur facts.

Camp Animations

Aidan really enjoyed the kayaking at Camp Aratika
Here's his animation to show you what it was like.

Statue Challenge

In week 6 we had a challenge to see who could make the tallest tower out of newspaper, 3 pieces of card, sellotape and string. We had lots of fun but it wasn't as easy as it would seem as most of our towers didn't remain standing until the end of the challenge, toppling over instead.
Have a look at what went on and read some of our recounts of the event.
