Chapple Room


Dear Chapple Room Parents and Friends,
We have been discussing animals and their homes this week. There has been some interesting discussion about whether certain animals live in cages or in the wild. Several children have been exploring a non fiction book called Dangerous Animals. The children drew an animal of their choice and their corresponding home.


‘Lions live in a den.’ Henry
‘Dens are made of rocks.’ Charlie
‘A rock cave moves up to each cave.’ Owen
‘And even they move, cause we move into different homes and cars.’ Charlie
‘Sharks live in underwater caves. Tigers live in the wild. A piranah  lives where the sharks live. It has sharp teeth and a light to see where it’s going. They have sharper teeth than a shark. A cheetah’s home is a little bit cool. He doesn’t have any lights so the other animals go in there and he eats them up.’ Henry
‘An orange arrowed frog lives in a tree.’ Oliver
‘Did you know swordfish have sharp noses. They live under the sea.’ Gabriel
‘Sting fish live under the water.’ Harry W
‘I drew a reindeer. They live with Santa Claus.’ Eric
