Nature Photography

By Gabriel.

Last week I walked around the school yard with a camera taking photos of leaves, flowers and trees.

This is a picture of a spider I found in our oak tree:

I liked this photo because I managed to get the flower in focus when the background was blurred:

To take this photo I had to lie on the undergrowth of our big blackwood tree:

This photo is of the flower of a blackberry bush that was growing in the oak trees:

Nature Adventure

Instead of having our morning in the classroom, today we met at the Wombat Hill Botanical Gardens for a morning of nature adventuring with Bec, Patrick and Meg.

We started off by dispersing like seeds in the wind then writing about what we found once we'd landed.

Some of us were more creative with our writing implements.

We talked about the forest and all the different things we can do with wood.

We carved trees.

We jumped out of them.

We sat in their shade and ate our lunch.

Then we used them to try and light a fire.

Some of us even tried to eat them.

After a while we even started to look like them.

Our minds and our bodies were becoming one with our environment.

Until soon enough, the transformation was complete.

Zero and Bess

By Zephyr

Zero is my dog the brown headed small Jack Russell. And Bess is our teacher Bec's dog. Whenever Bec comes to school, she usually brings Bess with her. Bess and Zero have snuggly time when they are both at school as well as lots of play fights.

Jack Russells are hunting dogs and Zero tries to teach Bess how to go hunting at school. Bess is a calm dog and Zero is a playful dog and you always see Bessie lying down and Zero jumping on her.

I always love watching Zero and Bessie play fighting at school, it's so cute.
