Flying to Australia

Flying to Australia

On Thursday 9th January, we set up a live link to Australia . We asked lots of interesting questions to Mrs Lewis' nephew Eddy (who lives in Melbourne). We found out that he has seen kangaroos in his garden and there are quite a few spiders on his house wall. We found out about the climate, schools and other wildlife. 



























Hedgehogs boarded flight H2 to Sydney ably assisted by two flight attendants Mrs Lewis and Ms Paterson. 

Then it was time to board our flight to Australia. We of course needed our passports and boarding passes.

   Take off...

 Safety briefing...

It's a long flight to Australia!

Time for an in-flight meal.

Then it was the in-flight movie.

Finally, it was time to land in Sydney. 

 We are all looking forward to our Australian adventures. 

Traction Man is here!

We are reading Traction Man in class and are very much enjoying it.  It is very funny.  Today, Mrs Savage made a pretend sink inspired by the story and added jelly, spaghetti, washing up liquid, water and orange pieces to it.  It looked very odd but smelt delicious! 

We all had a go at putting our hands in the sink.  Then we thought of adjectives to describe what it felt like.  We thought of loads!  We than had to make expanded noun phrases out of them.

It was a very enjoyable experience.

Memorable Event: Toasting marshmallows

We had a lovely afternoon on Tuesday eating toasted marshmallows outside.  We ventured out despite the appalling weather.  Unfortunately we couldn't toast them ourselves.  It was so windy, the flames kept moving around and we wouldn't have been safe.  When the wind was calmer, a few of us were able to toast our own.  They were delicious!  So gooey and yummy.  We enjoyed this experience a lot!
