1.       If we had a pet day I would bring along my cat Millie. I would look after Millie by feeding her. My favourite story about cats is Hairy mcheary.

Drawing Dinosaurs

How to measure a dinosaur

Use a variety of learning areas to understand the actual size of a dinosaur.
Firstly read the Journal article 'How do you measure a dinosaur?' written by a class from Island Bay School.
Then use you maths skills to draw a proportional grid over a picture of a dinosaur. This part is very tricky, you need to read your ruler carefully, draw straight lines and label it accurately.
Next use metre rulers and chalk outside on a suitable surface to draw the actual size of a dinosaur following your grid you created in class.
Finally step back and look at the size of the creature you have re-created!
This activity allows you to form an understanding of real dinosaur size while you are using reading, maths and problem solving techniques.

Gardner's Multiple Intellegencies

Two Awesome spent a day using the multiple intelligence to participate in a range of activities that develop the skill of critical thinking as we learn about "How do fossils give us clues about the past?" We used a variety of activities that include decision making, planning, communication and creativity. Sometimes we work alone and at other times we work cooperatively.
