Dear Mead Parents,
The Thursday children entered the Mead Room to be greeted by seven small Plains Mice, who have taken up residence for two weeks in our classroom. We are investigating animals and their homes this week, and so the children are getting a first hand view of what environment these little rodents enjoy living in! Our discussions revealed we are already quite knowledgeable about these furry creatures.
"Look, he's washing his face" Eden squealed.
"Them mice. Them can creep" Izabella commented.
"They can bit your finger" Raphael warned.
"They have teeth" Andre confirmed.
"No, they don't have sharp teeth. They have little teeth and eat leaves" Abhi suggested.
"Them eat grass and people" Gwen said, with a smile on her face.
"They eat worms" Luca offered.
"I think they eat leaves. They have 4 legs, teeth, a bottom, and a long tail" Jack said.
"I think they eat seeds" Suzannah added.
"They burrow keeps them warm" Luc told his friends.
"My fishy sleeps in the day like the mouse at school" Raphael observed.
"They're sleeping now" Jacob noticed.
Come in and have a look at the new additions in the Mead Room.
Best wishes,
Emma, Susan, Cristina and Heidi
