I arrived in Melbourne this morning. It is still raining! I visited the Melbourne Museum where
Mrs. Rowe's son (HDS alum) works. The museum was amazing (right
Kylie?). I was so impressed with the design and how interactive it was. I loved the room below that was filled with stuffed animals from all over the world, but I was especially impressed with the quotation by Albert Einstein that was printed on the wall. That should be our mantra first graders!
Mrs. Bjelland you need to put that on our wall (please)!! While I was visiting the museum I learned so many things so I do have two questions for you and I would love to hear your answers (
thanks to Charli and Caden - you identified that bird correctly!)
1. What animal, other than a bat, uses echolocation to catch their prey? Hint: It lives in the ocean.
2. What is the name of the horse that is as famous to Australians as Seabiscuit is to the Americans?
Post your answers and I will let you know if you are right!
I am glad you made it to the museum, but sorry you didn't see Kevin. The horse is Phar Lap. I had my picture taken next to him.
ReplyDeleteDolphins, orcas and sperm whales use echolocation. Love, Caden. Hope you are having fun
ReplyDeleteDear Mrs. Viera, Logan thinks dolphins use echolocation! Logan also misses you and hopes you are not getting to wet in the rain. Lila misses you too. Love, Logan Fenner
ReplyDeleteYou guys are so smart! The whale that learned about was a sperm whale!
ReplyDeleteAddie think dolphins use echolocation just like bats. We hope you are having fun. We love the blog.
