WA DAY 2014

To celebrate WA Day, Room 12 investigated some of the things that make Western Australia unique. We made posters persuading people to visit, including all of our fabulous landmarks. We looked at the state flag and learnt that our state colours are black and gold and that our state emblem is the Black Swan. We made origami Black Swans and researched these beautiful creatures. Here are some of the things we found out:
1. Black swans can grow up to 1.3 metres tall
2. They are known for their bright red beaks.
 3. Underneath their wings their feathers are white.
4. The main predators of Black Swans are foxes, dogs and cats.
We learnt that it isn't very responsible to feed the swans because they can forget how to look for their own food and get very sick and even die. We then invited the Year 3s from Room 14 and the Year 1s from Room 13 to come and see our work and had lots of fun sharing all our new information and showing them our work!
