Reading

We have been exploring all of the different animals we might see during our zoo excursion and learning how to recognise mammals, reptiles and birds. We are getting better at spotting the difference - even if animals like the Platypus can be hard to sort into one category!

We wrote facts about cassowaries and tried to recreate the Daintree Rainforest as an illustration.

Did you know a group of cassowaries is called a shock? We wondered if this might be because cassowaries can be quite dangerous!

Maths

We have been representing different data using pictures, tally charts and bar graphs. We have been focusing on using these graphs to help us answer questions about the data we gathered.
