Wow - we are in our new building and it is going so well. Room 17 has been amazing and I have to say are the most respectful and caring class ever. Well done to them all!!! I think they are fabulous. Here we are saying goodbye to Room 17!!!

Crafting Spiders

This week we have been making spiders with chicken wire,paint,plaster and normal wire.
First we made the shape of the spider with the chicken wire. Then we put the legs on with the normal wire and thread it through the spider.After we had threaded through the legs we plastered the spider. Then it was the fun part! We waited until the plaster was dry. When the plaster was dry, we got to paint it. We might hang them up in the new build, or we might take them home. Room 17 has had a AWESOME week!!!

Spooky spider trip

"Did you see the pink toed tarantula in the the glass cage?" I said to Brooke.
 It was looking straight at me.
"He's scary" "can we go somewhere  else ?"Yes said Brooke. So we went to the microscope and looked at the orange butterfly close up. It was a fantastic trip. And I am wondering how do spiders drink? by Gracie.

Going to the Canterbury Museum

"Hey Cohen! Have you noticed that the tarantula is moving?"whispered Ameya.
"No! Where is it? Oh there it is. replied Cohen
It is called a Pink Toed Tarantula. said Ameya. Then I pressed a green button and suddenly the lights
turned off in the spiders glass cage. A few minutes later the lights turned back on. Very soon I got to
see a Tarantula walk up to it's web. The web was in a really awquward shape. It was in a sphere kind of shape, instead of a flat web. I wonder how Tarantula's drink water.
