My Place

This term we have started reading a book called 'My Place' by Nadia Wheatley. It is teaching us how things in the past were different and how places can be special to us. Today we looked at some of the ABC program based on the book and found this great website:

We will read a different page each week.

We have been learning about the platypus. We now know it is an incredible animal that only lives in Australia. It is called a monotreme. It has a poisoned spur on the males back foot. It has a ducks bill, and webbed feet like a frog! We enjoyed watching this video on the platypus and learning from it.
