Vinnie’s The Purple Hearts – Week 9 Term 3

Hi all,

We have had a busy week! It feels like it has flown by as we wind down for the end of the term.

Thanks to all the help from the parents with our excursion. The children loved riding the bus to the city and visiting the museum.

We spent time this week learning about the Supine Sand Creeper, which is a prehistoric amphibian. It was discovered in 1997 by a chicken farmer in a slab of sandstone from the Sydney Basin and classified in the last few years as a new species by a Palaeontologist working at the Australian Museum. We were stoked to find the actual fossil remains at the museum on Thursday.

The children are excited to curate a dinosaur exhibition for the classroom, and we will finish up our informative writing next week by publishing a book on Dinosaurs and Prehistoric Creatures.

The children enjoyed walking to the library on Monday.

We are coming into our last week before the holidays! Next term, we are back to swimming every Tuesday and beginning the preparation for our end-of-year concert!

More details to come.

Vinnie
