Dinosaurs

We are learning about dinosaurs that lived in Aotearoa. This week, we have been writing reports and painting pictures of them.

So far, we have watched YouTube clips about them and found some written facts. Did you know pterosaurs aren't actually dinosaurs? They are flying reptiles!

Here's Lincoln's report...

Pterosaurs

Pterosaurs are not dinosaurs. They are, in fact, flying reptiles. 

Did you know they were as big as a fighter jet and their wingspan was 10.6 metres? They had hollow bones and super, sharp teeth. Pterosaurs had hooked claws. That is weird but useful for not dropping prey in flight.

They lived from the late Triassic period to the end of the Cretaceous period.

Did you know that a young pterosaur is called a flapling?

Pterosaurs liked to eat fish and smaller things.

I think dinosaurs are cool.

Do you know which dinosaurs lived in Aotearoa?

Student Led Conferences - Let's Talk Learning

This week our whānau are coming into our classroom so we can talk about our learning with them. First we will introduce our family to our teacher and then ask them to sign the Guest Register. We will pull out a chair for them and ask them to sit down. Then we are going to be talking to them about all the things we have been learning, why we have been learning it and what our next steps in learning will be. We are also reading our Writing to them, showing them what we are up to in Maths, sharing our favourite iMovie we have made and showing them our R.E. books and art. At the end we will call Mrs Naden, our teacher, over to talk about our next learning goals.

Have you ever talked to your whānau about your learning?
