Brooke, James and Quintin are becoming Photo Peach experts!

Our caterpillar miracle!

I still wonder how it was possible for me to spot the little runaway outside the school fence...

With a little help from my friends I was able to encourage the runaway onto a leaf from our plants.

Our little family safe inside.

Our little runaway safely back where s/he belongs!

I made a Photo Peach of our caterpillars tonight but it won't upload so we'll have to make do with the photos for now...

Photo fun today!

Today we went outside in groups of 3 and took 10 photos of each person.  We are using them for self portraits and to make POPART posters.  It was such a gorgeous day to be outside in the sun!  We are learning to download and compress our photos, then upload them. 

My very exciting day in room 7...

Thank you, thank you, thank you for such a wonderful day today!  I felt soooo welcome and I just loved working with you all.  The highlight of my day was definitely finding the caterpillar - thank you for a wonderful story Alysha. (I love the way you write - phrases like 'room seven was ecstatic' and 'lured the caterpillar to crawl on the leaf' make my soul dance and sometimes even makes me dance on my chair).    I am so happy that you are now all members of the class wiki.  Please check it later tonight for some new additions like your own pages.   A huge thank you to you all for the welcome, the help and the fun today.  YAY YAY YAY

Caterpillar rescue...

On 3^rd of February while Mrs. Kenneally was taking us for e-learning she brought in 2 caterpillars that someday will turn into monarch butterflies. The whole of room seven was ecstatic! But when Mrs. Kenneally looked at the plant she only saw 1 caterpillar? She said it must have crawled off the plant when she put it outside the classroom. Soon it was lunchtime and we still hadn’t found the little critter but when Mrs. Kenneally went to get her lunch out of the car guess who she found crawling across the ground! It was the other caterpillar! She quickly got the plant and lured the caterpillar to crawl on the leaf because if you touch a caterpillar before it turns into a butterfly it will turn into a deformed butterfly.

Hi everyone, I am really looking forward to coming into your class tomorrow!  We are going to have a look at the wiki and the blog and try to work out how we can use these to help with our learning journey.  We are going to take a lot of photos and create some cool posters.  Yay!
