Angwin

Dear Parents,

The Angwin children have had a really busy week this week. On Monday we were lucky enough to visit the Adelaide Zoo. The children had a great time observing different birds and animals.

Walter: The Emu is a big bird.
Ashton: The Emu has 2 toes.
Oscar : He yawned (Tasmanian Devil) he's tired.
Jed: Look Freddy, Kookaburras!
Alice : The Koala's looking at everyone!
Lochlann: It's spiky and wet (echidna). He could spike someone.

During the visit, the children were intrigued by the maps and kept checking to see where we were going and what animals we would see next. 

Chloe: Where's the T-rex?
Lochlann: It's on the map!
Walter: Don't worry Sophie, I know exactly where we are (pointing to the map).

Back in the Angwin classroom we have set up a space for the children to create their own zoos and paint their own maps.

Some of the children have also helped create a map of where we can find the rainbow lorikeets as we walk up to the Preparatory school. We have been asking staff in the centre if they know where the rainbow lorikeets live at PAC. We have discovered that some people have never even seen any here. We hope that our map will help them discover where they can spot a rainbow lorikeet at PAC. The map is on display in our classroom so please have a look and you can find out where the lorikeets are at our school.

Have a lovely weekend,


Pip and Cass
