'Go Wild' and tell us about it!
As you can see, I am a very confused creature.
My giraffe ears are actually antennae that detect the small nocturnal sounds of my prey. They work together with my ultra-sensitive ears in picking up the smallest vibration. I have Bush-Baby eyes that are really like having night vision goggles. Wherever you hide - I can see you and my Tree Frog sucker pads help me to cling to any surface along the way.
I am actually quite vain, although not quite as proud as a peacock! My Bird of Paradise feathers will take me from casual to any high society function such as a ball or movie premier! Last but not least, my ultra-strong Tree Boa tail will in a tree near you so watch out!

Can-drive
Can-drive!
For term four, Springston School has been focusing on challenging change and how we could help with other people trying to cope with challenging change.
For Room 6 students, Mrs Taylor helped us brainstorm lots of ways we could help people. My group was Philip, Hannah and me, Courtney. After hearing about the Samoan Tsunami we decided we would do everything we could to get Samoa what they needed. There were a whole bunch of teams from our class wanting to fundraise for Samoa, but luckily we had all the ideas for what we wanted to do.
Our first idea was a can-drive. We figured that people would rather give cans than money. Mrs Taylor thought this was a great idea and set us straight to work on it. We decided we wanted our can-drive to be a competition so we told everyone it would be from the 15th-19th of November and the class with the most cans at the end of the week would win their own personal mufti day!
At the end of the week we had an amazing result. We had a total of 203 cans and $26 so the result was unbelievable! Room 5 was the winner of the mufti day with a total of 55 cans. Well done Springston School. Samoa will be happy with our result.
