Egg-citing News

Stage 1 have been so excited about the discovery of an egg at BAPS. We have been researching, writing, exploring and so much more. Look at what each class has been up to!

Class 2/3H 

2/3Hhas been very productive composing and publishing narratives called "The Egg" for Kindergarten classes to enjoy, as a result of the mysterious appearance of an egg like structure at BAPS. As the narratives are almost ready to be shared with Kindergarten, we are now moving towards writing information reports on snakes using the book, "I Don't Like Snakes" as our stimulus. The students have really been enjoying being authors and have displayed some great creativity in their writing.

Class 2RE

2RE discussed animals that hatch from an egg. We had the most amazing discussion about animals that lay eggs and those that don't. We learnt lots of fun facts like - not all fish lay eggs, the only two mammals to lay eggs are the echidna and the platypus, and that ostriches lay the biggest eggs! Each student then chose one animal to research and write about. 

Class 1J 

1J are enjoying the discussion of the mysterious egg. What is it? Where did it go? Can we keep it? They went to sketch and label their observations of the egg to develop their ideas of what it is and where it may have come from. Many believe it is an egg from a unicorn, chicken, alien, Hatchimal, Pokemon, bunny, monster and even a little Chippy egg! The students have been busy composing and editing their persuasive letters to Mr Dalkeith explaining why they want to keep the animal inside for Brooke Avenue. Our fingers are crossed.

Class 1/2H

1/2H were so excited to discover the egg in our playground. They predicted what could be in the egg. Maybe it was a dragon, dinosaur, unicorn or even an alien. Some thought Godzilla had visited the school. Who knows!

Class 1W 

1W have enjoyed researching eggs. They have drawn and labelled diagrams that show the different parts of an egg. Did you know that eggs have an almost invisible cord that holds the yolk in place? It is called a chalaza!
