Extinct and Endangered Animals

Extinct and Endangered Animals 

    

 We made pictures about dinosaurs.

 We made playdough dinosaurs and counted the legs. Some children are learning to count in twos!



 We made patterns of animals prints using our fingers.

 We drew leopards to paste on the prints. 

 We made pictures about tigers too.





   We worked on our pictures everyday for a whole week.

 Zz ............ is for Zigzag Zebra. 

 
 Our self portraits are stunning. We used chalk and sugar water.
Making playdough cookies for the class keeps us busy. 

 
Lots of children brought things for the cosy corner during 
"I care" week. Thank you very much J
Michael's  daddy dressed up and pretended to be Mr. Thompson. He told us all about endangered animals. Thank you Mr. Thompson for a fun lesson.
