Hello everyone. Welcome to Term 4. I hope you all had a terrific holiday and did lots of fun things.

I am sure this term will go very quickly and before we know it Christmas will be here!

When you come into our room you will notice that our frog visitors have gone back to Thiele Primary School. It was great being able to watch them and how quickly they could move when the crickets went in!

Luckily for us we have new visitors and I’m sure we will have lots of fun observing their interaction with each other.

We have Hopping Mice! They are a native Australian animal and luckily they don’t need a permit to be kept in captivity.

Here is a photo of Hopping Mice taken by Stephen Barnett. The photo was found on Flickr.

Hopping mice are very busy little animals as you can see from this YouTube clip!
