Happy Easter

Easter Buddy Time

 On Wednesday Super Room 19 and Funny Room 3 had easter buddy time. It was super fun. We made bunny ears, chicks and easter cookies. The two classes thought the afternoon was very extreme! We thought the cookies were YUMMY:-). 

I thought it was the best buddy time we have had so far :) .

Reconstruction for the office

Silverstream school is very excited about the new construction for the office. The office people, teachers and the children will be very pleased when the new office is rebuilt. Friday saw the arrival of some temporary buildings.
It was exciting and we were surprised at how easily the rooms were pick up off the trucks and craned into place.
The school is going to look very different when it is done.

Chimpanzees

Chimpanzees are mainly found in rain forests or wet savannahs. They spend equal time on land and in trees. They do most of their feeding and sleeping in trees to hide from enemies. 

Chimps use thick branches and sticks as clubs to throw or hit their enemies. Their main predators are leopards and humans. Chimps are omnivorous foragers (an animal that feeds on both animal and vegetable substances). 

They can grow to around 137cm tall standing bipedal. Even though chimpanzees have four legs, they can walk on two. Their weight is usually 50 kilograms. Chimpanzees don't have tails. Chimps can get infected with the same diseases as humans. They are seven times stronger than men. Girl chimps learn a lot faster than boy chimps. When they are bored they organise various games to entertain themselves. 

I think chimpanzees are very clever how they use branches to protect themselves. Chimps have interesting lives. They can live up to about 50 years.
