Computer challenges this week

We have 2 challenges going on this week in our class.  Well they are world wide challenges, but we are participating!

The first challenge is the hour of code.  Anyone in the world of any age can log on and practice coding.  You can make flappy birds fly, and do some minecraft.

The second challenge is for skoolbo.  There's a world cup on at the moment between New Zealand, Australia, Great Britain and the United States.

Crocodile Creche

Today we read a journal story about baby crocodiles.  The mum crocodile lays the egg in a nest and then watches it until the babies make noise.  Then she comes back and carries them in her mouth to the water.  She looks after them for a while and then they are on their own.  Only some survive.  They start in eggs that are 5-8 cms long and end up big as!

We made some pic collages as a follow up.
