Clifton Hills Primary School - 22nd August 2007 |
|
Hi everyone, on the 22nd of August our Animal Club at Clifton Hills was visited by some guinea pigs. Mrs. Turner brought in three guinea pigs - 2 adults and one baby guinea pig. We all learned a lot of things, including that Guinea pigs like to eat carrot, grass, tomatoes, pellets, oats, wheat, apple and just about any food scraps. A guinea pig can live in a metal hutch where half of the cage is enclosed and half is open.
Animal Club members learn how guinea pigs respond to a compassionate touch We also learned that Guinea pigs like hay, grass and leaves for bedding on the bottom of their cages. Guinea pigs like to hide so it is a good idea to give them something they can hide in, like a box with an opening cut out of it. Guinea pigs get bathed just like us only once a month. Also, they have a special shampoo that is used just for rabbits and guinea pigs and lastly, that Guinea pigs don’t smell very much. |

Here are a couple of activities our Animal Club has been doing this term:
We ran a colouring competition for our Juniors. They
coloured a free range pig. Your can see some of our entries
in the above photograph. Zak from Yr 1 won the competition
with a bright and happy colouring for his pig. 
Rebecca made a paper-mache free range pig. Here it is on
our school lawn ... a wonderful place for a pig to be. |

Piggy Hats - Last week at our Wednesday meeting on the 20th June, Clifton Hills Primary School Animal club began designing and making piggy hats.
Mrs. Stoakes, one of our animal club leaders, had prepared the hats so that animal club members were given hats that looked like pigs. Each hat had ears, a nose and a little curly tail.
Some of the Piggy Hats that we created in our Animal Club this year.
Animal Club members then chose the Piggy Message that they liked the best (from our brainstorm the week before) and wrote this on the peak of their cap.Then animal club members decorated their hats however they wanted. We are going to wear our hats, with our piggy masks and deliver our messages at the assembly item we are going to present to the school.
The hats look really Kool! and they have some very good Piggy messages on them that we hope others will learn from. |

At our weekly Wednesday meeting on the 13th of June Mrs. Ritchie read to us “All Pigs are Beautiful” by: Dick King-Smith. This book was a reward out club was given from Animal Club. It was really good and it told us a lot of stuff about pigs that we didn’t know.
After the story Mrs. Ritchie showed us a piggy hat and told us that all of the Animal club members at Clifton Hills would be making piggy hats to show how we felt about pigs and some of the problems they face.
Animal Club members learn new and interesting facts about pigs
Then we all brainstormed phrases and short sentences that we could put on our pig hats. Here are the ideas we had:
*Give the pigs freedom *Stop pig cruelty it’s not fair *Don’t kill the piglets *No pork on the fork *Pigs are clean and cute *Give pigs a chance *Save the pigs *Knock down walls and stalls *Pigs are like people, they need their space *Pigs are Kool! *If we have life, why can’t pigs? *Let pigs roam free *Even pigs need hugs *Don’t destroy pig’s dreams *Keep pigs off the concrete *Real homes for pigs *Be kind to pigs they have memories
We hope you like our activity update |

Emanuel School - 10th June 2007 |
Emanuel School Animal Club members at the Australia Walkabout
Wildlife Park supply drive
On Sunday 10th June, the Emanuel School Animal Club hired a bus and went to visit the , an animal sanctuary in Calga, on the Central Coast. AWWP is a very special park in NSW where you can see both Australian wildlife and ancient Aboriginal sites. The students were extremely impressed by the friendly kangaroos, emus and snakes (which were tame enough to pat), as well as the more elusive pademelons.
The remarkable park rangers ran two workshops which increased the children's awareness of our native animals, including the kangaroo, wallaby, pademelon, koalas, emus and snakes. The workshops also included a short course on bush tucker, bush medicine, Aboriginal history, the Australian environment and threats to our rare and endangered species.
It was a wonderful, meaningful trip - both parents and students took home invaluable memories of the park and its animal residents.
