We are Authors and Illustrators

Yesterday we started making a book about the very busy snails. Today the glitter was dry and we had our photos taken with our pages. Tomorrow Mrs E will laminate the pages and bind the side so that it looks like a real book. After we have finished reading it we are going to take it over to the Kindy and read it to the Kindy Kids.

EMILY made the cover of our book. Her snails are crawling up a pole.

MADDIE made the page for the introduction and Monday.
RUBY made this page about the snails going into a hole.                
DANNIELLA with her snails balancing on a flower.                    
ELLA's snails belong in the circus!                             

CALLUM's snails might be trying to get his lollypop.
JAMEE introduced her snails to a butterfly.    

SAM's snails are very tired.                       


We learnt about stick insects today. We learnt that  "they are very good at camouflage" (Charlie) "Some don't camouflage as good as others" (Taj)
"They eat leaves" (Abby)   "They drink water" (Ryan)   "You can have them for pets if you have a glass tank and it's warm" (Teia) "They can grow another leg if an animal bites one off" (Maddie)  "When they are babies, lots die" (Zak)

.Mrs M helped us make our own stick insects and they are very cute.

Mrs MB came in and helped us roll the playdough.


DAKOTA was very good at rolling peas to go inside the pods.         


Then INDEE had a turn and made purple peas!


Today was another busy day at Pre Primary. I wonder if we can have a little rest tomorrow?

    I enjoy checking up on your 'blob' Mrs E - school just was not like this back in my day!
    History is repeating itself with the interest in snails - Emily's dad used to collect some on his way home from school and put them on the window so he could watch them crawling through the glass.
