Dear Chapple Room Parents and Friends,
After finishing the DVD Rio
this week,
we discussed what the movie was about, and what it meant to be
endangered and living in captivity. We also drew representations of Hyacinth
Macaws and investigated Brazil and Carnivale.
‘Blue and Jule were the birds that got trapped in the cages. They
got fown back to Rio and got free again. At the end, Blue learnt to fly.’ Tommi
‘Brids do live in bird nests and in a tree. And snails live in a
house that’s a curly shell that’s a bit different to a crab shell.’ Owen
‘It is about houses and birds.’ Tommi
‘They wanted to take them to home in Rio’ Eric
‘The badies got the birdies and they tried to escape from the
cages. The birds didn’t want to be in the cages.’ Dillon
‘They can’t fly if they are in a cage.’ Gabriel
The conversation then moved onto animals living in cages and
captivity.
‘If there’s no animals in captivity, there’d be no zoos.’ Ryan
‘The birds want to stay in trees.’ Zach F
‘If I was blue, I would prefer to be flying around the jungle.’
Tommi
Thank you to Ryan for sharing the DVD with us. The children
really enjoyed it. We will continue our inquiry into homes, and focus on birds
homes- nests, trees and cages, next week. Thank you also to the parents who
came on our excursion yesterday. It was
another safe and successful outing. Keep the Dad's surveys coming in.
Not long now until the Big Boys Breakfast!
