Immersion Rotation


In my class Room 18 we are looking closely at the main differences on groups of Dinosaurs,but what made it cooler was that we got to have an Immersion Rotation. We got to go into different classes to see what they have been learning about Dinosaurs. When our class went to room 15 there teacher told us about how Dinosaurs move,when we went to Room 16 we learned about there Classification,In room 17 we learned about the Time line,and in room 14 we did Observational drawing they were all very cool activities I really do wish that it never ended.

Well anyway my favourite Dinosaur is a"Triceratops" I found out that Triceratops means Three horned head. I like it because because it has a plate to protect it's head and because they travels in heards.It has been fun through out the week and I have learnt tons more things about Dinosaurs I can't wait to start my my report on Dinosaurs this term is going to be AWESOME!!!!

Dino Might!


Today was the first day of Term two, which meant there was an immersion assembly. The topic of the new term is 'Dino-Might'. We call it Dino-Might because the topic is about dinosaurs. We had an odd looking fellow drop in. His name was "Cracker the Cave Man".

He was from the pre-historic times. You could tell by the way he was dressed, with a funny looking hair-style, an animals fur for clothing, and last of all, he had a humungous club in his hand. It was for killing things so that he could eat.

We also had another pre-historic creature come too and his name was "Pterdactal Man". He looked like a part dinosaur, part man and part bird. Cracker the cave man tried to slay the Pteradactal man, but he was too good for Cracker the cave man.

The teachers had some cool and interesting items to share with us. I enjoyed watching Team Two showing their groovy dino dance. They were twirling, spinning and bobbling all over the place like people with thorns on their backs.

I am looking forward to studying about different dinosaurs and their names. So far I've learnt that dinosaurs were on Earth more than 200 million years ago and that humans have only been around for less than half a million years.
