Where are we from?

We had a multicultural day and we put our placemark on google earth. Our placemark shows where our parents and grandparents came from.

We also did dancing and storytelling and music.

Mr Collinson put the placemarks on google maps and then put it here. We hope you have fun

Rain

Rain

Rain is loud, rain is fun

But when it is sunny there is none.

When it rains it sometimes hails

But when it falls it sounds like nails.

When rain is bad it turns into lightning

And when it starts it's very frightening.

Rain fills dams, oceans and creeks,

When it gets on the roof it leaks.

Rain makes puddles and turns dirt into mud

And from the flowers out sprouts a bud.

When the rain comes at night

I get under my covers and pull them up tight.

Gallimimus

Gallimimus

Many people think dinosaurs were huge, slow moving and deadly. Gallimimus were fast on their feet and not very tall for a dinosaur.
Gallimimus means fowl mimic. It was given this name because it was too much like a bird.
If humans existed at the time of the Gallimimus about 70million years ago in the late cretaceous period, you would spot it right away.

The Gallimimus was 10 feet tall or 3m.
It was found in Mongdia.
One of the dinosaurs filmed in the movie Jurassic park was the Gallimimus.

How the Fish Got its Scales

.Back in the Dreamtime, all of the fish had skin.

One day a father fish went out to look for food. Dad fish was swimming in the reef. Suddenly he saw a shiny shell. He was amazed by the shine. He went closer to the shell and when he touched it, it cut his skin.

He was bleeding, and the blood covered his body. He was trapped in this sack of blood and it slowly dried up. He swam home, but he didn't know that the blood on his body could be spread throughout the oceans. As it dried it formed a hard shell.

Thats how the fish got their scales

How The Crab Got His Claws

Once upon a time lived a crab.

The crab had a friend who was a seagull. The seagull was always being mean to him.

One day Crab was walking along a beach and saw some clams with pretty pearls in them.
The crab went over and tried to get the pearl.
His hands got stuck in them and he couldn’t get them out so Crab thought that he could have pay back to the seagull.
Crab said to seagull "Don’t be mean to me again or I will hurt you!"
" Ok! Ok! I wont be mean to you any more", said the seagull.
"Oh by the way you have pretty Claws on you"
"Thanks" said Crab.

So that’s how crabs got there claws.

How the Fish Got Its Scales

.In the dreamtime, fish had no scales.

One day Foshay the fish had no scales. She was swimming around the coral and her friend, Ellie the eel said “I’ll race you around the coral??” “Okay” said Foshay.

123… GO!!

Foshay and Ellie swam as fast as they could. Foshay swam past some sharp rocks and cut herself. The cuts looked like scales, only there was blood coming out of the gaps.
Eventually the cuts turned into scales.
From then on, every fish had scales.
